Conference Object The Effect of Ag and Ag Plus N Ion Implantation on Cell Attachment Properties(American Institute of Physics, 2009) Urkaç, Emel Sokullu; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Öztarhan, Ahmet; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Deliloğlu, İsmet Gürhan; İz, Sultan Gülce; Oks, Efim; Ila, Daryush; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyImplanted biomedical prosthetic devices are intended to perform safely, reliably and effectively in the human body thus the materials used for orthopedic devices should have good biocompatibility. Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene (UHMWPE) has been commonly used for total hip joint replacement because of its very good properties. In this work, UHMWPE samples were Ag and Ag+N ion implanted by using the Metal-Vapor Vacuum Arc (MEVVA) ion implantation technique. Samples were implanted with a fluency of 1017 ion/cm2 and extraction voltage of 30 kV. Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) was used for surface studies. RBS showed the presence of Ag and N on the surface. Cell attachment properties investigated with model cell lines (L929 mouse fibroblasts) to demonstrate that the effect of Ag and Ag+N ion implantation can favorably influence the surface of UHMWPE for biomedical applications. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to demonstrate the cell attachment on the surface. Study has shown that Ag+N ion implantation represents more effective cell attachment properties on the UHMWPE surfaces.Conference Object Thermal Behaviour of W Plus C Ion Implanted Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (uhmwpe)(American Institute of Physics, 2009) Urkaç, Emel Sokullu; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Öztarhan, Ahmet; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Ila, Daryush; Budak, S.; Chhay, B.; Nikolaev, A.; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe aim of this work was to examine thermal behavior of the surface modified Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene (UHMWPE) in order to understand the effect of ion implantation on the properties of this polymer which is widely used especially for biomedical applications. UHMWPE samples were Tungsten and Carbon (W+C) hybrid ion implanted by using Metal Vapour Vacuum Arc (MEVVA) ion implantation technique with a fluence of 10 17 ions/cm2 and extraction voltage of 30kV. Untreated and surface-treated samples were investigated by Rutherford Back Scattering (RBS) Analysis, Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) Spectrometry, Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). This study has shown that ion implantation represents a powerful tool on modifying thermal properties of UHMWPE surfaces. This combination of properties can make implanted UHMWPE a preferred material for biomedical applications.Conference Object Structural and Thermal Characterization of Ti+o Ion Implanted Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene (uhmwpe)(American Institute of Physics, 2009) Öztarhan, Ahmet; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Urkaç Sokullu, Şadiye Emel; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Kaya, N.; Ila, Daryush; Budak, S.; Nikolaev, A.; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this work, Metal-Gas Hybrid Ion Implantation technique was used as a tool for the surface modification of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). Samples were Ti + O ion implanted by using Metal-Vapour Vacuum Arc (MEVVA) ion implanter to a fluence of 5x10(16) ion/cm(2) for each species and extraction voltage of 30 kV. Untreated and surface treated samples were investigated by Rutherford Back Scattering (RBS) Spectrometry, Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) Spectroscopy, Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Results indicate that Ti + O ion implantation can be applied on UHMWPE surfaces successfully. ATR-FTIR spectra indicate that the C-H concentration on the surface decreased after Ti + O implantation. Thermal characterization with TGA and DSC shows that polymeric decomposition temperature is shifted after ion implantation.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 11Oxidation Behavior of C-And Au-Ion Biodegradable Polymers(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2012) Sokullu Urkaç, Emel; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Nikolaev, Alexey; Brown, Ian; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyBiodegradable polymers are widely used in biomedical and tissue engineering applications due to their biocompatibility and hydrolysis properties in the body. However, their low surface energy and lack of functional groups to interact with the cellular environment have limited their applications for in vivo studies. Ion beam modification is a convenient method for improving the surface properties of polymeric materials for functional biomedical applications. In the work described here, vacuum arc metal ion implantation was used to modify the composition of the near-surface region of three kinds of polymerspoly(L-lactide), poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide), and poly(L-lactide/caprolactone)chosen as representative of biodegradable polymers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis was used to characterize the chemical effects of these polymers after implantation with C and with Au, and the results were compared with untreated control samples. We find that oxidation behavior is brought about for certain implantation fluences, resulting in improved surface hydrophilicity. © 2011 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Modification of Surface Morphology of Uhmwpe for Biomedical Implants(Materials Research Society, 2007) Öztarhan, Ahmet; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Kaya, Nusret; Yenigül, Mesut; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Ezdeşir, Ayhan; Zimmerman, Robert; Budak, Satılmış; Muntele, C.; Chhay, Bopha; Ila, Daryush; Oks, Efim; Nikolaev, Alexey; Tek, Zekai; Eltem, Rengin; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyUltra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) samples were implanted with metal and metal-gas hybrid ions (Ag, Ag+N, C+H, C+H+Ar, Ti+O) by using improved MEVVA Ion implantation technique [1,2]. An extraction voltage of 30 kV and influence of 1017 ions/cm2 were attempted in this experiment, to change their surface morphologies in order to understand the effect of ion implantation on the surface properties of UHMWPEs. Characterizations of the implanted samples with RBS , ATR - FTIR, spectra were compared with the un-implanted ones . Implanted and unimplanted samples were also thermally characterized by TGA and DSC. It was generally observed that C-H bond concentration seemed to be decreasing with ion implantation and the results indicated that the chain structure of UHMWPE were changed and crosslink density and polymer crystallinity were increased compared to unimplanted ones resulting in increased hardness. It was also observed that nano size cracks (approx.10nm) were significantly disappeared after Ag implantation, which also has an improved antibacterial effect. Contact angle measurements showed that wettability of samples increased with ion implantation. Results showed that metal and metal+gas hybrid ion implantation could be an effective way to improve the surface properties of UHMWPE to be used in hip and knee prosthesis.
