    Effect of Some Physical, and Chemical Variables on Flocculation and Sediment Behaviour
    (A.A. Balkema Publishers, 2000) Polat, Hürriyet; Polat, Mehmet; İpekoğlu, Üner
    Effect of some chemical and physical variables on the settling rate, final sediment height, sediment viscosity and supernatant turbidity of a clay sample was studied using various polyacrylamide type flocculants. Increasing flocculant concentration significantly increased both the settling rate and sediment viscosity. More importantly, changes in the final sediment, height, hence the packing density, was minimal for all the conditions tested once the sediment was allowed to consolidate. Also, the mode of addition of the polymer, at once or continuous, did not seem to affect any of the parameters measured. Conditioning time seemed to alter the settling rate at low polymer concentrations, but had no effect at high polymer concentrations. However, increasing the conditioning time caused a decrease in the sediment viscosity. Different types of the polyacrylimides generated different settling rates at a given concentration, but the final sediment height was nearly independent of polymer type.

    Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activities of Some Turkish Plant Extracts
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2006) Altıok, Evren; Asbagh, L. Abbasi; Bulut, Çisem; Ülkü, Semra; Bayraktar, Oğuz
    Plant extracts have been known to possess notable biological activity, including antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties. There is a growing interest in the use of natural products in the human food industries as consumer resistance to synthetic additives increases. These products can be used to improve human health. In vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of ethanol extracts of some plants from Urla region in Turkey were investigated. Plant materials were collected from Pistacia lentiscus, Vitex agnus-castus, Cistus creticus and Nerium oleander in October, November and December.

    Thermal Characterization of Ag and Ag Plus N Ion Implanted Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (uhmwpe)
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Urkaç, Emel Sokullu; Oztarhan, A.; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Kaya, N.; Ila, D.; Muntele, C.; Tek, Z.
    Most of total hip joints are composed of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). However, as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is too stable in a body, wear debris may accumulate and cause biological response such as bone absorption and loosening of prosthesis. In this study, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene samples were Ag and Ag + N hybrid ion implanted by using MEVVA ion implantation technique to improve its surface properties. Samples were implanted with a fluence of 10(17) ion/cm(2) and extraction voltage of 30 kV. Implanted and unimplanted samples were investigated by thermo-gravimetry analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM) and contact Angle measurement. Thermal characterization results showed that the ion bombardment induced an increase in the % crystallinity, onset and termination degradation temperatures of UHMWPE. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

    Polymeric Thermal Analysis of C+h and C+h+ar Ion Implanted Uhmwpe Samples
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Kaya, N.; Öztarhan, Ahmet M.; Urkaç, Emel Sokullu; Ila, D.; Budak, S.; Oks, E.; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Muntele, C.
    Chemical surface characterization of C + H hybrid ion implanted UHMWPE samples were carried out using DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) and TGA (thermal gravimetric analysis) techniques. Samples were implanted with a fluence of 10(17) ion/cm(2) and an extraction voltage of 30 kV. The study of TGA and DSC curves showed that: (1) Polymeric decomposition temperature increased, (2) T-m, Delta C-p and Delta H-m values changed while Delta C-p and Delta H-m increased. T-g value could not be measured, because of some experimental limitations. However, the increase in Delta H-m values showed that T-g values increased, (3) the branch density which indicated the increase in number of cross-link (M-c) decreased in ion implanted samples and (4) increase in Delta H-m values indicated increase in crystallinity of implanted surface of UHMWPE samples.

    Hidrofobik İlaç Taşıyıcısı Olarak Akrilik Yıldız Blok Kopolimerler
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Genç, Gözde; Batıgün, Ayşegül; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Altıntaş, Özcan; Tunca, Ümit; Hizal, Gürkan
    Amphiphilic poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PMMA-b-PAA) copolymers with 4 and 6 arms were synthesized by Atomic Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP). The polymers were characterized by GPC, H-NMR and FTIR analysis. Polymer samples synthesized at various molecular weights between 18-80 kDa were investigated in terms of maximum loading capacity and critical micelle concentration by fluorescence spectroscopy. 4 arm PMMA-b-PAA (MW 30 kDa) was loaded with hydrophobic model drug indomethacin with an extremely high drug loading efficiency (22.5% drug content). Drug loaded polymer formed a stable and biodegradable complex in aqueous medium.

    The Effect of Ag and Ag Plus N Ion Implantation on Cell Attachment Properties
    (American Institute of Physics, 2009) Urkaç, Emel Sokullu; Öztarhan, Ahmet; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Deliloğlu, İsmet Gürhan; İz, Sultan Gülce; Oks, Efim; Ila, Daryush
    Implanted 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.

    (American Institute of Physics, 2009) Urkaç, Emel Sokullu; Öztarhan, Ahmet; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Ila, Daryush; Budak, S.; Chhay, B.; Nikolaev, A.
    The 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.

    Structural and Thermal Characterization of Ti+o Ion Implanted Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene (uhmwpe)
    (American Institute of Physics, 2009) Öztarhan, Ahmet; Urkaç Sokullu, Şadiye Emel; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Kaya, N.; Ila, Daryush; Budak, S.; Nikolaev, A.
    In 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.
