Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16A Machine Learning Ensemble Approach for Predicting Solar-Sensitive Hybrid Photocatalysts on Hydrogen Evolution(IOP Publishing, 2024) Bakır, Rezan; Orak, Ceren; Yuksel, AsliHydrogen, as the lightest and most abundant element in the universe, has emerged as a pivotal player in the quest for sustainable energy solutions. Its remarkable properties, such as high energy density and zero emissions upon combustion, make it a promising candidate for addressing the pressing challenges of climate change and transitioning towards a clean and renewable energy future. In an effort to improve efficiency and reduce experimental costs, we adopted machine learning techniques in this study. Our focus turned to predictive analyses of hydrogen evolution values using three photocatalysts, namely, graphene-supported LaFeO3 (GLFO), graphene-supported LaRuO3 (GLRO), and graphene-supported BiFeO3 (GBFO), examining their correlation with varying levels of pH, catalyst amount, and H2O2 concentration. To achieve this, a diverse range of machine learning models are used, including Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), XGBoost, Gradient Boosting, and AdaBoost-each bringing its strengths to the predictive modeling arena. An important step involved combining the most effective models-Random Forests, Gradient Boosting, and XGBoost-into an ensemble model. This collaborative approach aimed to leverage their collective strengths and improve overall predictability. The ensemble model emerged as a powerful tool for understanding photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Standard metrics were employed to assess the performance of our ensemble prediction model, encompassing R squared, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). The yielded results showcase exceptional accuracy, with R squared values of 96.9%, 99.3%, and 98% for GLFO, GBFO, and GLRO, respectively. Moreover, our model demonstrates minimal error rates across all metrics, underscoring its robust predictive capabilities and highlighting its efficacy in accurately forecasting the intricate relationships between GLFO, GBFO, and GLRO values and their influencing factors.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Roadmap on Multifunctional Materials for Drug Delivery(IOP Publishing, 2024) Nottelet, Benjamin; Buwalda, Sytze; van Nostrum, Cornelus F.; Zhao, Xiaofei; Deng, Chao; Zhong, Zhiyuan; Cheah, Ernest; Kehr, Nermin SedaThis Roadmap on drug delivery aims to cover some of the most recent advances in the field of materials for drug delivery systems (DDSs) and emphasizes the role that multifunctional materials play in advancing the performance of modern DDSs in the context of the most current challenges presented. The Roadmap is comprised of multiple sections, each of which introduces the status of the field, the current and future challenges faced, and a perspective of the required advances necessary for biomaterial science to tackle these challenges. It is our hope that this collective vision will contribute to the initiation of conversation and collaboration across all areas of multifunctional materials for DDSs. We stress that this article is not meant to be a fully comprehensive review but rather an up-to-date snapshot of different areas of research, with a minimal number of references that focus upon the very latest research developments.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Experimental Demonstration of a Transient Grating Controlled All-Optical Switch(IOP Publishing, 2023) Akın, Osman; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihWe demonstrate an on-fiber all-optical switching device based on a transient grating formed by the interference of control laser pulses in a Kerr-type nonlinear material placed in the evanescent region of the fiber. The device can operate in two distinctive modes. First, switching/coupling among the fiber modes using bulk index modulation was investigated and an efficiency of about %0.55 @852 nm was measured. Second, by exploiting Four Wave Mixing (FWM), an all-optical switching that transfers power among light signals with wavelengths of λ 1 = 440 nm and λ 2 = 663 nm was achieved by quasi-phase-matching and fRequency matching in a nonlinear thin polymeric film. The results prove that the introduced switching structure may have the potential to be used in integrated photonic applications such as intensity modulators or controllable couplers.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 10Intercalation Leads To Inverse Layer Dependence of Friction on Chemically Doped Mos2(IOP Publishing, 2023) Açıkgöz, Oğulcan; Guerrero, Enrique; Yanılmaz, Alper; Dağdeviren, Ömür E.; Çelebi, Cem; Strubbe, David A.; Baykara, Mehmet Z.We present results of atomic-force-microscopy-based friction measurements on Re-doped molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). In stark contrast to the widespread observation of decreasing friction with increasing number of layers on two-dimensional (2D) materials, friction on Re-doped MoS2 exhibits an anomalous, i.e. inverse, dependence on the number of layers. Raman spectroscopy measurements combined with ab initio calculations reveal signatures of Re intercalation. Calculations suggest an increase in out-of-plane stiffness that inversely correlates with the number of layers as the physical mechanism behind this remarkable observation, revealing a distinctive regime of puckering for 2D materials.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Physically Unclonable Security Patterns Created by Electrospinning, and Authenticated by Two-Step Validation Method(IOP Publishing, 2022) Taşcıoğlu, Didem; Atçı, Arda; Sevim Ünlütürk, Seçil; Özçelik, SerdarCounterfeiting is a growing economic and social problem. For anticounterfeiting, random and inimitable droplet/fiber patterns were created by the electrospinning method as security tags that are detectable under UV light but invisible in daylight. To check the authenticity of the original security patterns created; images were collected with a simple smartphone microscope and a database of the recorded original patterns was created. The originality of the random patterns was checked by comparing them with the patterns recorded in the database. In addition, the spectral signature of the patterns in the droplet/fiber network was obtained with a simple and hand-held spectrometer. Thus, by reading the spectral signature from the pattern, the spectral information of the photoluminescent nanoparticles was verified and thus a second-step verification was established. In this way, anticounterfeiting technology that combines ink formula, unclonable security pattern creation and two-level verification is developed.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13Overcoming Roadblocks in Computational Roadmaps To the Future for Safe Nanotechnology(IOP Publishing, 2021) Öksel Karakuş, Ceyda; Winkler, David A.The rapid rise of nanotechnology has resulted in a parallel rise in the number of products containing nanomaterials. The unusual properties that nano forms of materials exhibit relative to the bulk has driven intense research interest and relatively rapid adoption by industry. Regulatory agencies are charged with protecting workers, the public, and the environment from any adverse effects of nanomaterials that may also arise because of these novel physical and chemical properties. They need data and models that allow them to flag nanomaterials that may be of concern, while balancing potential stifling of commercial innovation. Roadmaps for the future of safe nanotechnology were defined more than a decade ago, but many roadblocks identified in these studies remain. Here, we discuss the roadblocks that are still hindering the effective application of informatics and predictive computational nanotoxicology methods from providing more effective guidance to nanomaterials regulatory agencies and safe-by-design rationale for industry. We describe how developments in high throughput synthesis, characterization, and biological assessment of nanomaterials will overcome many of these roadblocks, allowing a clearly defined roadmap for computational design of effective but safe-by-design nanomaterials to be realized.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 23Bioactive Snail Mucus-Slime Extract Loaded Chitosan Scaffolds for Hard Tissue Regeneration: the Effect of Mucoadhesive and Antibacterial Extracts on Physical Characteristics and Bioactivity of Chitosan Matrix(IOP Publishing, 2021) Perpelek, Merve; Tamburacı, Sedef; Aydemir, Selma; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Baykara, Başak; Karakaşlı, Ahmet; Havıtçıoğlu, HasanBiobased extracts comprise various bioactive components and they are widely used in tissue engineering applications to increase bioactivity as well as physical characteristics of biomaterials. Among animal sources, garden snail Helix aspersa has come into prominence with its antibacterial and regenerative extracts and show potential in tissue regeneration. Thus, in this study, bioactive H. aspersa extracts (slime, mucus) were loaded in chitosan (CHI) matrix to fabricate porous scaffolds for hard tissue regeneration. Physical, chemical properties, antimicrobial activity was determined as well as in vitro bioactivity for bone and cartilage regeneration. Mucus and slime incorporation enhanced mechanical properties and biodegradation rate of CHI matrix. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the average pore size of the scaffolds decreased with higher extract content. Mucus and slime extracts showed antimicrobial effect on two bacterial strains. In vitro cytotoxicity, osteogenic and chondrogenic activity of the scaffolds were evaluated with Saos-2 and SW1353 cell lines in terms of Alkaline phosphatase activity, biomineralization, GAG, COMP and hydroxyproline content. Cell viability results showed that extracts had a proliferative effect on Saos-2 and SW1353 cells when compared to the control group. Mucus and slime extract loading increased osteogenic and chondrogenic activity. Thus, the bioactive extract loaded CHI scaffolds showed potential for bone and cartilage regeneration with enhanced physical properties and in vitro bioactivity.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: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Enhanced Room Temperature Energy Storage Density of Bi(li1/3ti2 Substituted Bi0.5na0.5tio3-Batio3 Ceramics(IOP Publishing, 2021) Karakaya, Merve; Adem, UmutFor high power electronics applications, relaxor ferroelectrics are promising materials due to their superior energy storage properties. In this study, we investigate the energy storage properties of novel lead free relaxor ferroelectric ceramics (1-x)(0.92Bi(0.5)Na(0.5)TiO(3)-0.08BaTiO(3))-xBi(Li1/3Ti2/3)O-3 (abbreviated as BNT-8BT-xBLT). BNT-8BT composition which is close to morphotropic phase boundary was chosen as the base due to its large maximum polarization (P-m) and higher ratio of weakly polar tetragonal phase which is expected to facilitate ergodic relaxor behavior and improve energy storage density. The substitution of BLT to the BNT-8BT strongly disrupts the correlations between the polar nanoregions and the transition from nonergodic to ergodic relaxor state occurs already at x = 0.02 BLT at room temperature. Largest energy density (W-rec) at 61 kV cm(-1) was obtained for x = 0.02 sample (0.656 J cm(-3)), followed by x = 0.03 (W-rec = 0.614 J cm(-3)) and x = 0.05 (W-rec= 0.559 J cm(-3)). The x = 0.02 sample keeps its energy storage density at high temperatures (i.e. W-rec= 0.88 J cm(-3,) eta = 97%, E-m= 65 kV cm(-1) at 125 degrees C), while larger electric field (up to 89 kV cm(-1)) could be applied to the x = 0.05 sample with the smallest grain size and energy density of 1.03 J cm(-3) was reached at room temperature. Energy storage density values of BLT substituted materials normalized per unit applied electric field are promising among BNT-based materials.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 18Nuclear-Targeted Gold Nanoparticles Enhance Cancer Cell Radiosensitization(IOP Publishing, 2020) Pratx, Guillem; Özçelik, SerdarRadiation therapy aims to kill or inhibit proliferation of cancer cells while sparing normal cells. To enhance radiosensitization, we developed 40 nm-sized gold nanoparticles targeting the nucleus. We exploited a strategy that combined RGD and NLS peptides respectively targeting cancer cell and the nucleus to initiate cell-death activated by x-ray irradiation. We observed that the modified gold nanoparticles were either translocated in the nuclei or accumulated in the vicinity of the nuclei. We demonstrated that x-ray irradiation at 225 kVp energy reduced cell proliferation by 3.8-fold when the nuclear targeted gold nanoparticles were used. We determined that the radiation dose to have a 10% survival fraction was reduced from 11.0 Gy to 7.1 Gy when 10.0 mu g ml(-1)of the NLS/RGD/PEG-AuNP was incubated with A549 cancer cells. We conclude that the peptide-modified gold nanoparticles targeting the nucleus significantly enhance radiosensitization.
