Book Part Citation - Scopus: 3Advances and Future Perspective of Graphene Field Effect Transistors (gfets) for Medical Diagnostics and Point-Of Tools(World Scientific Publishing, 2022) İnanç, Dilce; Mutlu, Mustafa Umut; Karabacak, Soner; Yıldız, Ümit HakanRecently, major focus has been centered to enhance the capability of graphenebased devices and to facilitate utilization of graphene for biological applications by lowering its toxicity. In this chapter, from synthesis to applications, many of the conspicuous characteristics of graphene have been elaborately reviewed. We primarily focused on graphene-based field effect transistor (FET) for medical diagnostics and point-of-care applications. The device configurations and their application potential as well as sensing capability of various graphene FETs (GFETs) have been discussed. Here, we have also presented several aspects and advantages of GFETs in medical applications while discussing their pros and cons in commercialization. We address the advances and challenges for GFET-based sensing platforms for the medical applications and elaborate the combination strategy of GFETs with the existing commercial systems. © 2023 by World Scientific Publishing Co.

PT with six different pendant groups are designed to differentially interact with volatile organic compounds (VOC) of varying polarities, thereby enabling their classification. PT exhibit a rapid vapochromic response with a concurrent modulation of vapoluminescence due to the non-covalent cation-? interactions between the pendant groups and the PT backbone. Adsorption of VOC on pendant groups alters the conformation of PT backbone, thus resulting in an increase in intensity and blue shifting of fluorescence emission within the visible spectrum. The vapoluminescent responses are found to be more sensitive with a limit of detection (LOD) of ?7 ppm and a wider dynamic range as compared to the vapochromic responses with a LOD of ?60 ppm for the detection of a model VOC: chloroform. Notably, all the PT illustrate an instantaneous recovery of colour and luminescence upon desorption of VOC. PT interaction with VOC of varying polarities was ascertained using density functional theory (DFT) and principal component analysis (PCA) methodologies. In summary, the polarity induced vapochromic and vapoluminescent properties of PT could yield a selective and sensitive vapochromic and fluorometric dual-mode VOC detection platform. © 2023Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1A Multi-Layered Graphene Based Gas Sensor Platform for Discrimination of Volatile Organic Compounds Via Differential Intercalation(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023) Özkendir İnanç, Dilce; Ng, Zhi Kai; Başkurt, Mehmet; Keleş, Berfin; Vardar, Gökay; Şahin, Hasan; Tsang, Siu Hon; Palaniappan, Alagappan; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Teo, EhtSelective and sensitive detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is of critical importance for environmental monitoring, disease diagnosis and industrial applications. Among VOCs, assay development for primary alcohols has captured significant research attention since their toxicity causes adverse effects on gastrointestinal and central nerve systems, resulting in irreversible blindness, and coma, and can be even fatal at high exposure levels. However, selective detection of primary alcohols is extremely challenging owing to the similarity in their molecular structure and characteristic groups. Herein, we have attempted to investigate the differential methanol (MeOH)-ethanol (EtOH) discriminative properties of single-layer, bi-layer, and multi-layer graphene morphologies. Chemiresistors fabricated using the three morphologies of graphene illustrate discriminative MeOH-EtOH responses, which is attributed to the phenomenon of differential intercalation of MeOH within layered graphene morphologies as compared to that of EtOH. This hypothesis is verified by density functional theory calculations, which revealed that the adsorption of EtOH molecules on the graphene surface is more energetically favorable as compared to that of MeOH molecules, thereby inhibiting their intercalation within the layered graphene morphologies. It is further evaluated that the degree of MeOH intercalation increases with increasing layers of graphene for obtaining differential MeOH-EtOH responses. Experimental results suggest possibilities to develop selective and sensitive MeOH assays fabricated using various graphene morphologies in a combinatorial sensor array format.Article Citation - WoS: 43Citation - Scopus: 46Glucuronoxylan-Based Quince Seed Hydrogel: a Promising Scaffold for Tissue Engineering Applications(Elsevier, 2021) Güzelgülgen, Meltem; Özkendir İnanç, Dilce; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, AhuNatural gums and mucilages from plant-derived polysaccharides are potential candidates for a tissue-engineering scaffold by their ability of gelation and biocompatibility. Herein, we utilized Glucuron-oxylanbased quince seed hydrogel (QSH) as a scaffold for tissue engineering applications. Optimization of QSH gelation was conducted by varying QSH and crosslinker glutaraldehyde (GTA) concentrations. Structural characterization of QSH was done by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (MR). Furthermore, morphological and mechanical investigation of QSH was performed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The protein adsorption test revealed the suitability of QSH for cell attachment. Biocompatibility of QSH was confirmed by culturing NIH-3T3 mouse fibroblast cells on it. Cell viability and proliferation results revealed that optimum parameters for cell viability were 2 mg mi(-1)of QSH and 0.03 M GTA. SEM and DAPI staining results indicated the formation of spheroids with a diameter of approximately 300 pm. Furthermore, formation of extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment was confirmed with the Collagen Type-I staining. Here, it was demonstrated that the fabricated QSH is a promising scaffold for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering applications provided by its highly porous structure, remarkable swelling capacity and high biocompatibility.

Esra; Sözen, Yiğit; Akyol, Cansu; Özkendir İnanç, Dilce; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Şahin, HasanThe existence of things is directly related to their structural symmetry in a broad framework ranging from atoms to crystalline materials and from simple cells to complex organisms like humans. However, structural imbalance that occurs through natural or artificial means can provide completely different advantages. Molecules, crystals, and complex structures with structural imbalance constitute the family of Janus-type materials. This perspective provides a comprehensive discussion on the synthesis techniques of Janus-type materials, their use in fields from biology to materials science, and very recent studies on the family of 2D ultrathin graphene-like structures. We believe that, thanks to the advances in experimental techniques, the few-atom-sized off-balanced materials will be indispensable parts of the nanotechnology products that soon will be used in our daily lives.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 28Biocomposite Scaffolds for 3d Cell Culture: Propolis Enriched Polyvinyl Alcohol Nanofibers Favoring Cell Adhesion(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2021) Bilginer, Rumeysa; Özkendir İnanç, Dilce; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, AhuThe objective of this work is generation of propolis/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) scaffold by electrospinning for 3D cell culture. Here, PVA used as co-spinning agent since propolis alone cannot be easily processed by electrospinning methodology. Propolis takes charge in maximizing biological aspect of scaffold to facilitate cell attachment and proliferation. Morphological analysis showed size of the electrospun nanofibers varied between 172-523 nm and 345-687 nm in diameter, for non-crosslinked and crosslinked scaffolds, respectively. Incorporation of propolis resulted in desired surface properties of hybrid matrix, where hybrid scaffolds highly favored protein adsorption. To examine cell compatibility, NIH-3T3 and HeLa cells were seeded on propolis/PVA hybrid scaffold. Results confirmed that integration of propolis supported cell adhesion and cell proliferation. Also, results indicated electrospun propolis/PVA hybrid scaffold provide suitable microenvironment for cell culturing. Therefore, developed hybrid scaffold could be considered as potential candidate for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Boosting Up Printability of Biomacromolecule Based Bio-Ink by Modulation of Hydrogen Bonding Pairs(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Köksal, Büşra; Önbaş, Rabia; Başkurt, Mehmet; Şahin, Hasan; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; Yıldız, Ümit HakanThis study describes low dose UV curable and bioprintable new bioink made of hydrogen bond donor-acceptor adaptor molecule 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate (NCO)modified gelatin (NCO-Gel). Our theoretical calculations demonstrate that insertion of 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate doubles the interaction energy (500 meV) between gelatin chains providing significant contribution in interchain condensation and self-organization as compared to methacrylic anhydride modified gelatin (GelMA). The NCO-Gel exhibits peak around 1720 cm?1 referring to bidentate hydrogen bonding between H-NCO and its counterpart O[dbnd]CN[sbnd]H. These strong interchain interactions drive chains to be packed and thereby facilitating UV crosslinking. The NCO-Gel is exhibiting a rapid, 10 s gelation process by the exposure of laser (3 W, 365 nm). The dynamic light scattering characterization also reveals that NCO-Gel has faster sol to gel transition as compared to GelMA depending on the UV curing time. The NCO-Gel was found to be more firm and mechanically strong that provides advantages in molding as well as bioprinting processes. Bioprinted NCO-Gel has shown sharp borders and stable 3D geometry as compared to GelMA ink under 10 s UV curing time. The cell viability tests confirm that NCO-Gel facilitates cell proliferation and supports cell viability. We foresee that NCO-Gel bioink formulation provides a promising opportunity when low dose UV curing and rapid printing are required. © 2020 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Lipid Bilayer on Wrinkled-Interfaced Graphene Field Effect Transistor(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Özkendir İnanç, Dilce; Çelebi, Cem; Yıldız, Ümit HakanThis study describes lipid bilayer-based sensor interface on SiO2 encapsulated graphene field effect transistors (GFET). The SiO2 layer was utilized as a lipid compatible surface that drives bilayer formation. The two types of surface morphologies i) wrinkled morphology by thermal evaporation (TE) and ii) flat morphology by pulsed electron deposition (PED) were obtained. The sensing performance of wrinkled and flat interfaced-GFETs were investigated, pH sensitivity of wrinkled interfaced-GFETs were found to be ten fold larger than the flat ones. The enhanced sensitivity is attributed to thinning of the oxide layer by formation of wrinkles thereby facilitating electrostatic gating on graphene. We foresee that described wrinkled SiO2 interfaced-GFET holds promise as a cell membrane mimicking sensing platform for novel bioelectronic applications. © 2020Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Fabrication of a Postfunctionalizable, Biorepellent, Electroactive Polyurethane Interface on a Gold Surface by Surface-Assisted Polymerization(American Chemical Society, 2020) Özenler, Sezer; Sözen, Yiğit; Şahin, Hasan; Yıldız, Ümit HakanThis study describes surface-assisted (SurfAst) urethane polymerization, providing a modular/postfunctionalizable, biorepellent, electroactive similar to 10 to 100 nm-thick polyurethane (PU) interface on a gold surface. SurfAst is a functionalization methodology based on sequential incubation steps of alkane diisocyanates and alkanediol monomers. The gold surface is functionalized by alkane diisocyanates in the first incubation step, and our theoretical calculations reveal that while the isocyanate group atoms (N, C, and O) at one end of the molecule exhibits strong interactions (similar to 900 meV) with surface atoms, the other end group remains unreacted. After the first incubation step, sequential alkanediol and alkane diisocyanate incubations provide formation of the PU interface. The extensive analysis of the PU interface has been conducted via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the chemical mapping verifies that the interface is made of PU moieties. The topographical analysis of the surface conducted by the atomic force microscopy shows that the PU interface consists of mostly a nanoporous texture with 150 nm total roughness. The adherence force mapping of the PU interface reveals that the nanoporous matrix exhibits an adhesion force of about 14 nN. The electrostatic force microscopy characterizing long-range electrostatic interactions (40 nm) shows that the PU interface has been attracted by positively charged species as compared to negative objects. Finally, it is demonstrated that the PU interface is readily postfunctionalizable by polyethylene glycol (PEG 1000), serving as a biorepellent interface and preserving electroactivity. We foresee that SurfAst polymerization will have potential for the facile fabrication of a postfunctionalizable and modular biointerface which might be utilized for biosensing and bioelectronic applications.
