    Trypsin-Immobilized Silica: a Novel Adsorbent for V(iv) and V(v) Removal From Water
    (Water Environment Federation, 2018) Erdem Yayayürük, Aslı; Shahwan, Talal; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin
    In the present study, trypsin-immobilized silica was employed for the removal of V(IV) and V(V) ions from water. The synthesized sorbent was first characterized and then investigated for the removal of V(IV) and V(V) under various experimental conditions. The adsorption performance of the sorbent was tested as a function of pli, sorbent amount, initial vanadium concentration, contact time, and temperature. The sorption process was then investigated, both from a kinetic perspective and also in terms of isotherm models. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm was the best model to describe the sorption process. Sorption thermodynamics were spontaneous and exothermic. The proposed method was successfully applied to real samples for the removal of V(IV)and V(V) with sufficient accuracy and precision.

    Morphology of Sodium Salt of Calf Thymus Dna on Mica, Alumina, and Silica Surfaces: Effect of Solvent and Drying Method
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017) Yetgin, Senem; Balköse, Devrim
    Investigation of morphology of deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate (DNA) dried on different surfaces by atomic force microscopy (AFM) is important in DNA research that is focused on subjects of condensation for gene therapy, sizing, DNA mapping, and cancer examination. The solvent, the surface type, and the method of drying effect the morphology of DNA on solid surfaces. Ethanol and water were used as solvents, flat mica, silica, and alumina surfaces were used as the substrates in the present study. Different methods such as ambient air-drying, N2-forced flow regime drying, and freeze-drying have been applied to droplets of DNA solutions in water or ethanol on the substrates. Forced flow drying regime causes nonlinear DNA attachment on the surface and self-assembly. DNA vertical distance on mica surface was found to be 6 and 1.4 nm for DNA dried in ambient air from ethanol and water solutions, respectively. It was 1.6 nm for N2 flow drying of aqueous DNA solution on mica surface. It was 4.6, 4.6, and 1.99 nm for ambient, N2 flow, and freeze-dried aqueous DNA on alumina surfaces, respectively. Aqueous solution of DNA dried under N2 flow on silica surface had 0.8 nm vertical distance. The smallest standard deviation of 0.05 nm was observed for DNA dried under N2 flow on alumina surface.

    Calf Thymus Dna Characterization and Its Adsorption on Different Silica Surfaces
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Yetgin, Senem; Balköse, Devrim
    DNA adsorption is the initial stage of gene therapy for drug delivery systems and solid phase extraction methods of DNA purification. High pore volume and high adsorption capacity are simple requirements not only for producing 'smart' drug delivery systems but also the development of purification kits. Silica is the most used material for this purpose. The present study aimed at elucidating the calf thymus DNA biosorption process by the characterization of calf thymus DNA and silica to increase the efficiency of the currently used silica material. Mesoporous silica has long been used for DNA adsorption and silica aerogel is the new adsorbent investigated in the present study. When DNA solution was freeze dried on a silica wafer, self-assembled super helices formed as shown by atomic microscopy (AFM). Thus DNA existed not as single molecules but as large sized agglomerates in water. Thus it could be adsorbed in the macropores and on the external surface of adsorbents. Adsorption of calf thymus DNA to a silica aerogel, a mesoporous silica gel and a silica wafer was investigated in the present study. Silica aerogel was synthesized from TEOS by a supercritical ethanol drying process. The DNA adsorption capacity of the silica aerogel was nearly two times that of the mesoporous silica gel due to its macroporous structure and its higher silanol content. Silica aerogel was found to be a very promising material for DNA adsorption. Therefore silica aerogel can be considered as a good candidate for the delivery of DNA.

    Flexible Pvc-Silica Composites as an Adsorptive Material for Water Soluble Dyes
    (Smithers Rapra Technology, 2013) Ulutan, Sevgi; Yetgin, Senem; Balköse, Devrim
    Methylene Blue (MB) adsorption studies were performed on flexible Polyvinyl Chloride/Silica composites which were obtained by using plastisol-plastigel technology. Change of MB concentration in aqueous phase as the adsorption process advanced was followed by using visible spectroscopy. The diffusion of MB through the composites exhibited non-Fickian behavior with a diffusivity of 10-11 m2s-1. Making use of such PVC-silica composite sheets as column packing, the packing time will be reduced and the surface available for diffusion will be increased. © 2013 Smithers Rapra Technology.

    Effect of Filler Amount on Thermoelastic Properties of Poly (dimethylsiloxane) Networks
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Menceloğlu, Yusuf Z.; Erman, Burak
    End-linked poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) networks were prepared in the presence of fumed silica particles with hydroxyl groups at their surfaces. The silica particles were introduced into the polymer solution prior to end-linking. Hydroxyl ended PDMS chains were end-linked via the tetra functional crosslinker, tetraethoxysilane. The filler content varied in the range 0-5 wt%. Atomic Force Microscopy was used to image and characterize the silica particles. Swelling, stress-strain and thermoelasticity experiments were performed. The temperature coefficient and the energetic part of the force in uniaxial extension are found to increase with increasing silica amount. This observation is ascribed to effects contributed possibly by the adsorption layer around the silica particles.
