Article Silver-Loaded Titania-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks as a Platform for Silver Ion Release for Antibacterial Applications(American Chemical Society, 2025) Mazare, Anca; Goldmann, Wolfgang Heinrich; Kocak, Esra; Osuagwu, Benedict; Qin, Shanshan; Cao, Ran; Schmuki, PatrikConventional Ag-decorated TiO<inf>2</inf>coatings suffer from low adsorption capacity and burst release kinetics, limiting long-term antibacterial efficacy and risking cytotoxicity. An entirely different payload release approach can be based on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which offer tunable porosity, high surface area, and internal diffusion channels. Here, we report a thermally stabilized Ti-based MOF [NH<inf>2</inf>-MIL-125(Ti)] functionalized with Ag+via reactive deposition, enabling high Ag loading (∼14.7 wt %) and sustained release. Annealing at 250 °C enhances aqueous stability, allowing diffusion-governed Ag+delivery over >48 h, with 77% of the Ag still present in the MOF after a 24 h release. The system exhibits dose-dependent antibacterial activity in powders and comparable efficacy in coatings, with a more gradual release profile. This scalable platform is promising for long-acting coatings, wound interfaces, and implantable materials. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 17Biocompatibility of Silicon Nitride Produced Via Partial Sintering & Tape Casting(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Çeçen, Berivan; Topateş, Gülsüm; Kara, Aylin; Akbulut, Serdar Onat; Havıtçıoğlu, Hasan; Kozacı, Leyla DidemThe biocompatibility of silicon nitride ceramics was proven by several studies however this study is apart from the literature in the manner of production routes that are tape casting and partial sintering. We report the tape casting route was chosen and a porous structure was obtained by partial sintering technique. Tape casting brought a smooth surface to the samples. Density and pore size distribution analysis showed that the scaffolds have low density because of the porous structure. XRD and SEM analyses were carried out to reveal the phase and microstructural characteristics of porous ceramic samples. Static contact angle measurement was done for the characterization of the wettability of the scaffolds. It revealed that the surface of the scaffolds was highly hydrophilic which is a desirable characteristic for the protein and cell adhesion. The mechanical characteristics of the scaffolds were analyzed by compression tests. Human osteosarcoma cells were used for in vitro studies. Cell-proliferation and cytotoxicity were analyzed by WST-1 and LDH, respectively. The osteoblastic behavior of the cells on the surface of the scaffolds was identified by alkaline phosphatase activity. BCA analysis was used for total protein content. The BCA and ALP results showed an increasing trend which is directly correlated with cell proliferation. Cells on the surface of the silicon nitride scaffolds were visualized by SEM and fluorescence microscopy where the images supported the in vitro analysis. Therefore, porous silicon nitride scaffolds fabricated via tape casting and partial sintering were biocompatible and they are possible candidates as bone substitute elements. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.Article Citation - WoS: 61Citation - Scopus: 74Production of Anorthite Refractory Insulating Firebrick From Mixtures of Clay and Recycled Paper Waste With Sawdust Addition(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Sütçü, Mücahit; Akkurt, Sedat; Bayram, Alican; Uluca, UluçProduction of porous anorthite refractory insulating firebricks from mixtures of two different clays (K244 clay and fireclay), recycled paper processing waste and sawdust addition are investigated. Suitability of alkali-containing-clay, low-alkali fireclay, pore-making paper waste and sawdust in the products was evaluated. Prepared slurry mixtures were shaped, dried and fired. Highly porous anorthite ceramics from the mixtures with up to 30% sawdust addition were successfully produced. Physical properties such as bulk density, apparent porosity, percent linear change were investigated as well as the mechanical strengths and thermal conductivity values of the samples. Thermal conductivities of the samples produced from fireclay and recycled paper waste decreased from 0.25 W/mK (1.12 g/cm 3) to 0.13 W/mK (0.64 g/cm 3) with decreasing density. Samples were stable at high temperatures up to 1100 °C, and their cold strength was sufficiently high. The porous anorthite ceramics produced in this study can be used for insulation in high temperature applications. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Suitability of three different clays such as enriched clay, commercial clay and fireclay for manufacturing of anorthite based lightweight refractory bricks was studied. Porous character to the ceramic was provided by addition of paper processing residues (PPR). Samples with 30-40wt% PPR fired at 1200-1400°C contained anorthite (CaO·Al2O3·2SiO2) as major phase and some minor secondary phases such as mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2) or gehlenite (2CaO·Al2O3·SiO2), depending on the calcite to clay ratio. Anorthite formation for all clay types was quite successful in samples with 30-40wt% of paper residues fired at 1300°C. A higher firing temperature of 1400°C was needed for the fireclay added samples to produce a well sintered product with large pores. Gehlenite phase occurred mostly at lower temperatures and in samples containing higher amount of calcium (50wt% PPR). Compressive strength of compacted and fired pellets consisting of mainly anorthite ranged from 8 to 43MPa. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 300Citation - Scopus: 343The Use of Recycled Paper Processing Residues in Making Porous Brick With Reduced Thermal Conductivity(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Sütçü, Mücahit; Akkurt, SedatProduction of porous and light-weight bricks with reduced thermal conductivity and acceptable compressive strength is accomplished. Paper processing residues were used as an additive to an earthenware brick to produce the pores. SEM-EDS, XRD, XRF and TG-DTA analysis of the paper waste and brick raw material were performed. Mixtures containing brick raw materials and the paper waste were prepared at different proportions (up to 30 wt%). The granulated powder mixtures were compressed in a hydraulic press, and the green bodies were dried before firing at 1100 °C. Dilatometric behaviours, drying and firing shrinkages were investigated as well as the loss on ignition, bulk density, apparent porosity, water absorption and thermal conductivity values of the fired samples. Their mechanical and microstructural properties were also investigated. The results obtained showed that the use of paper processing residues decreased the fired density of the bricks down to 1.28 g/cm3. Compressive strengths of the brick samples produced in this study were higher than that required by the standards. Thermal conductivity of the porous brick produced in this study (<0.4 W/m K) showed more than 50% reduction compared to local brick of the same composition (0.8 W/m K). Conversion of this product to a perforated brick may reduce its thermal conductivity to very low values. Successful preliminary tests were conducted on an industrial scale.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 18Ann Model for Prediction of Powder Packing(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Sütçü, Mücahit; Akkurt, SedatA multilayer feed forward backpropagation (MFFB) learning algorithm was used as an artificial neural network (ANN) tool to predict packing of fused alumina powder mixtures of three different sizes in green state. The data used in model construction were collected by mixing and pressing powders with average particle sizes of 350, 30 and 3 μm and with narrow particle size distributions. The data sets that were composed of green densities of cylindrical pellets were first randomly partitioned into two for training and testing of the ANN models. Based on the training data an ANN model of the packing efficiencies was created with low average error levels (3.36%). Testing of the model was also performed with successfully good average error levels of 3.39%.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 17Porous Nanocomposites Prepared From Layered Clay and Pmma [poly(methyl Methacrylate)](Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Tanoğlu, Metin; Ergün, YeldaThe aim of the present work is the preparation of PMMA based porous nanocomposites that contain clay (montmorillonite, MMT) platelets as reinforcements within the cell walls of the porous structure. To render the clay layers organophilic, MMT was surface treated by an ion exchange reaction between interlayer cations of the clay and ammonium ions of a surfactant. Clay/PMMA based porous nanocomposites were prepared by polymerization of water-in-oil emulsions with and without clay addition. The microstructure and compressive mechanical behavior of the nanocomposites were investigated. The results of mechanical tests showed that the porous systems with the addition of 1 wt.% of organoclay (OMMT) exhibited a 90% and 50% increase of collapse stress and elastic modulus values, respectively, as compared to neat porous PMMA.
