Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Formation and Characterisation of Nanoporous Tio2 Layers on Microroughened Titanium Surfaces by Electrochemical Anodisation(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2014) Dikici, Tuncay; Güzelaydın, Abdurrahman Halis; Toparlı, MustafaNanoporous titanium dioxide (TiO2) layers were successfully formed by an electrochemical anodisation method on microroughened titanium (Ti) surfaces in fluoride containing aqueous electrolyte. Microroughened Ti surfaces were produced by sandblasting with Al2O3 particles of 50 μm in diameter and acid-etching in a blend of HCl/H2SO4 solution. The surface morphology, topography and chemical composition of the specimens were analysed by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The surface roughness and the wettability of treated Ti surfaces were measured using profilometry and a contact angle measurement system, respectively. With anodising of sandblasted-/acid etched surfaces, micrometre- and nanometre-scale textures on titanium specimens were created. Results showed that these developed nanoporous-microroughened surfaces exhibited lower contact angle values than the other treated Ti surfaces. The sandblasted/acid-etched/anodised Ti specimen had a surface morphology with distinctively formed hills and valleys and higher surface roughness than the other anodised specimens. This study indicated that nanoporous TiO2 structures fabricated on microroughened Ti can be an effective way to modify the titanium surfaces for the future development of implant applications.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Electrical Characterizations of Schottky Diodes on Ito Modified by Aromatic Sams(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2013) Havare, A. Kemal; Okur, Salih; Yağmurcukardeş, Nesli; Can, M.; Aydın, H.; Şeker, M.; Demiç, ŞerafettinIn order to understand the electronic properties of the organic Schottky diode, ITO/TPD/Al and ITO/SAM/ TPD/Al organic Schottky devices were fabricated to obtain currentffvoltage characteristics. From the slopes and y-axis intercepts of the plots, the values of the ideality factor, barrier heights of the ITO/SAM/TPD/Al diode were determined as 2.03 and 0.56 eV, respectively. The surface characterizations of modified and unmodified ITO were performed via atomic force microscopy.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Evaluation of High Hydrostatic Pressure Effects on Bovine Red Blood Cells and Platelets(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2009) Ceylan, Çağatay; Severcan, Mete; Bozoğlu, Faruk; Severcan, FerideThe objective of this study was to investigate the effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on the stability of red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets. Bovine blood cells (n=5) were treated with the pressure of 55, 110, 154 and 220MPa at 25°C for 5min. Light microscopy, atomic force microscopy and flow cytometry studies revealed that RBCs were morphologically stable up until the 220MPa pressure treatments, at which surface modifications were observed. The platelets were found to be less stable than RBCs. HHP application did not cause any significant change in the signal intensity, band area and frequency values of the infrared bands with the exception that a significant variation was observed in the area of the cholesterol band. No statistically significant variations were observed in the secondary structure elements due to HHP treatment according to the artificial neural network study based on the FTIR data.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 32Visualization of the Equilibrium Fcc Catalyst Surface by Afm and Sem-Eds(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003) Bayraktar, Oğuz; Kugler, Edwin L.The deposition of metal contaminants (e.g., Ni, V, and Fe) from the hydrocarbon feed causes the deactivation of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst used in petroleum refining. It is very important to understand the changes in the morphology and chemical composition on the catalyst surface and how these structural and chemical changes affect the catalyst performance. In this research, metal-contaminated FCC catalysts from a commercial unit have been characterized using AFM together with SEM-EDS. The AFM images showed the surface pores as well as the features that surround the pore's entrance on the catalyst surface. Catalyst surface contains debris that appear as bright spots in AFM images. SEM-EDS results have shown the presence of iron in these bright spots. Fe enrichment at the catalyst particle surface was also confirmed by XPS analyses.
