Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Effects of Different Precursors on the Aging and Electrocaloric Properties of Mn-Doped Ba0.95sr0.05tio3 Ceramics(Springer, 2023) Karakaya, Merve; Erdem, Emre; Akdoğan, Yaşar; Adem, UmutIn this study, the effects of different types of Mn precursors (MnO2 and Mn2O3) and sintering temperature on the defect dipole formation, ferroelectric aging and electrical properties were investigated by using Ba0.95Sr0.05TiO3 ceramics as the base. Both Mn precursors were substituted to the Ti-site as 1 mol% and two different sintering temperatures of 1325 and 1400 degrees C were used to study the effect of grain size. We deduced that slightly higher amounts of Mn2+ can be incorporated into the perovskite structure when MnO2 is used as the precursor, by using X-ray diffraction and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Mn-doped samples sintered at 1325 degrees C age faster than those sintered at 1400 degrees C. Aging caused a decrease in the electrocaloric effect whereas Mn-doping increased it. This study shows that Mn precursor used for the acceptor doping affects the amount of Mn incorporated into the structure and therefore electrical properties of the resulting ceramics.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Mn2+ Ions Incorporated Into Znsxse1-X Colloidal Quantum Dots: Controlling Size and Composition of Nanoalloys and Regulating Magnetic Dipolar Interactions(IOP Publishing, 2021) Ünlütürk, Seçil Sevim; Akdoğan, Yaşar; Özçelik, SerdarA facile synthesis method is introduced how to prepare magnetically active ultraviolet emitting manganese ions incorporated into ZnSxSe1-x colloidal quantum dot (nanoalloy) at 110 degrees C in aqueous solutions. The reaction time is the main factor to control the hydrodynamic size from 3 to 10 nm and the precursor ratio is significant to tune the alloy composition. ZnS shell layer on the ZnSxSe1-x core was grown to passivate environmental effects. The nanoalloy has ultraviolet emission at 380 nm having a lifetime of 80 ns and 7% quantum yield. The incorporation of Mn2+ ions into the nanoalloys induced magnetic activity but did not modify the structure and photophysical properties of the nanoalloys. Colloidal and powdery samples were prepared and analyzed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In the colloidal dispersions, EPR spectra showed hyperfine line splitting regardless of the Mn2+ ion fractions, up to 6%, indicating that Mn2+ ions incorporated into the nanoalloys were isolated. EPR signals of the powdery samples were broadened when the fraction of Mn2+ ions was higher than 0.1%. The EPR spectra were simulated to reveal the locations and interactions of Mn2+ ions. The simulations suggest that the Mn2+ ions are located on the nanoalloy surfaces. These findings infer that the magnetic dipolar interactions are regulated by the initial mole ratio of Mn/Zn and the physical state of the nanoalloys adjusted by preparation methods.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 17Spectrophotometric Characterization of Plasticizer Migration in Poly(vinyl Chloride)-Based Artificial Leather(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Akkuş Altındağ, İffet; Akdoğan, YaşarPlasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most commonly used material in the manufacture of artificial leather because of its flexibility, high durability and low cost. While hundreds of plasticizers have been produced to obtain PVC films and artificial leathers, it is important to choose the correct plasticizer to produce the desired products. Therefore, here five non-phthalate type plasticizers with three levels (40 phr, 60 phr and 80 phr); trioctyl trimelliate (TOTM), tributyl trimelliate (TBTM), dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), dioctyl adipate (DOA) and dioctyl succinate (BIO) were used to prepare plasticized PVC films. They were studied in terms of their compabilities with PVC polymer chains, and their effects on mechanical properties of PVC films. Although, linear plasticizers e.g. BIO and DOA have higher compabilities with PVC, a branched plasticizer e.g. TOTM showed higher mechanical properties. Moreover, a new spectrophotometric method for determination of plasticizer migration from PVC polymer matrix to the surface of artifical leather was developed. According to lightness change on the surface of PVC artifical leather before and after heat treatment at 70 °C, the migration rates of used plasticizers increase in this order: TOTM < TBTM < DOTP < BIO < DOA. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Increasing Spontaneous Wet Adhesion of Dopa With Gelation Characterized by Epr Spectroscopy(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Göksel, Yaman; Akdoğan, YaşarThe presence of water molecules around both adhesive materials and surface results in the hydration barriers that weaken adhesion. In nature, mussels attach to various types of surfaces by using 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) containing mussel foot proteins. DOPA shows wet adhesive properties before and after contribution in the hydrogel formation. Here, the wet adhesive properties of DOPA modified four armed poly (ethylene glycol) polymer (PEG-(DOPA)(4)) and its hydrogels induced by (IO4)(-) or (Cr2O7)(2-) ions are compared by using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in terms of their surface coverages. In water, spin labeled hydrophobic polystyrene (SL-PS) and hydrophilic silica (SL-SiO2) nanoparticles are prepared, and the percentages of their covered surface values are obtained. Without applying force, the adhesion to SL-PS increases in the order of PEG-(DOPA)(4) < PEG-(DOPA)(4) + (IO4)(-) hydrogel < PEG-(DOPA)(4) + (Cr2O7)(2-) hydrogel with the percentages of surface coverages 65%, 76% and 93%, respectively. Although, neither of PEG-(DOPA)(4) polymer and (IO4)(-) induced PEG-(DOPA)(4) hydrogel adhere to SL-SiO2 nanoparticle spontaneously, (Cr2O7)(2-) induced PEG-(DOPA)(4) hydrogel adhere to SL-SiO2 with a 59% of surface coverage. These results show that gelation mechanisms of DOPA have effect on the spontaneous adhesion of DOPA to the wet surfaces even for the hydrophilic silica surface.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12The Effect of Dopa Hydroxyl Groups on Wet Adhesion To Polystyrene Surface: an Experimental and Theoretical Study(Elsevier, 2020) Yıldız, Remziye; Özen, Sercan; Şahin, Hasan; Akdoğan, YaşarMussels wet adhesive performance has been arousing curiosity for a long time. It is found that 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) is responsible for adhesive properties of mussels. Despite a large body of research characterizing the interactions DOPA with hydrophilic surfaces, relatively few works have addressed the mechanism of interactions with hydrophobic surfaces. The benzene ring of DOPA is the main attributor to the adhesion on hydrophobic polystyrene (PS) surface. However, here we showed that two hydroxyl groups of catechol have also effects on wet adhesion. We studied wet adhesive properties of DOPA, tyrosine and phenylalanine functionalized PEG polymers, PEG-(N-Boc-L-DOPA)(4), PEG-(N-Boc-L-Tyrosine)(4), PEG-(N-Boc-L-Phenylalanine)(4), on spin labeled PS nanobeads (SL-PS) by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Surface coverage ratio of SL-PS upon additions of PEG-(N-Boc-L-DOPA)(4), PEG-(N-Boc-L-Tyrosine)(4) and PEG-(N-Boc-L-Phenylalanine)(4) showed that SL-PS was covered with 70%, 50% and 0%, respectively. This showed that spontaneous wet adhesion on PS increases with the number of amino acids hydroxyl groups. This is also supported with the density functional theory (DFT) energy calculations and ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. In water, interactions between water molecules and hydroxyl groups on the catechol induce catechol adhesion via 7C-7C stacking between the catechol and double styrene rings which were already tilted out with water.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 36Epr Studies of Intermolecular Interactions and Competitive Binding of Drugs in a Drug-Bsa Binding Model(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016) Akdoğan, Yaşar; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Tatlıdil, Diğdem; Üçüncü, Muhammed; Çakan Akdoğan, GülçinUnderstanding intermolecular interactions between drugs and proteins is very important in drug delivery studies. Here, we studied different binding interactions between salicylic acid and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Salicylic acid was labeled with a stable radical (spin label) in order to monitor its mobilized (free) or immobilized (bound to BSA) states. In addition to spin labeled salicylic acid (SL-salicylic acid), its derivatives including SL-benzoic acid, SL-phenol, SL-benzene, SL-cyclohexane and SL-hexane were synthesized to reveal the effects of various drug binding interactions. EPR results of these SL-molecules showed that hydrophobic interaction is the main driving force. Whereas each of the two functional groups (-COOH and -OH) on the benzene ring has a minute but detectable effect on the drug-protein complex formation. In order to investigate the effect of electrostatic interaction on drug binding, cationic BSA (cBSA) was synthesized, altering the negative net charge of BSA to positive. The salicylic acid loading capacity of cBSA is significantly higher compared to that of BSA, indicating the importance of electrostatic interaction in drug binding. Moreover, the competitive binding properties of salicylic acid, ibuprofen and aspirin to BSA were studied. The combined EPR results of SL-salicylic acid/ibuprofen and SL-ibuprofen/salicylic acid showed that ibuprofen is able to replace up to ∼83% of bound SL-salicylic acid, and salicylic acid can replace only ∼14% of the bound SL-ibuprofen. This indicates that ∼97% of all salicylic acid and ibuprofen binding sites are shared. On the other hand, aspirin replaces only ∼23% of bound SL-salicylic acid, and salicylic acid replaces ∼50% of bound SL-aspirin, indicating that ∼73% of all salicylic acid and aspirin binding sites are shared. These results show that EPR spectroscopy in combination with the spin labeling technique is a very powerful method to investigate drug binding dynamics in detail.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 27Physiological Concentrations of Albumin Favor Drug Binding(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Tatlıdil, Diğdem; Üçüncü, Muhammed; Akdoğan, YaşarThe ability to track drug binding and release makes electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy well suited for drug delivery studies. Using the continuous wave (cw) EPR technique to extract information about the dynamics of the spin labeled drugs we can simultaneously determine the bound and unbound drugs. Here, spin labeled salicylic acid (SLSA) binding to and release from bovine serum albumin (BSA) is investigated, as a model for drug-transport protein interaction. We studied SLSA-BSA binding in a wide concentration range and found that the stoichiometry of the drug-protein increases significantly when the physiological range of BSA concentration is reached. Our EPR results explicitly reveal that up to ∼7 SLSA can bind to one albumin at the physiological concentration, whereas at lower BSA concentrations (<0.125 mM) the SLSA-BSA stoichiometry is maximum 2. Moreover, we studied drug release and showed that the ratio of bound to unbound SLSA concentrations remains relatively stable during dialysis. This indicates that the binding equilibrium of SLSA is not altered through the process of dialysis. This study demonstrates that cw EPR spectroscopy in combination with spin labeled drugs is an effective technique for binding and release studies and stoichiometric analysis of drug-protein interactions.
