Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 4Trans-resveratrol’ün Kitosan Mikroküreler İçerisindeki Kararlılığı(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Altıok, Duygu; Altıok, Evren; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Fundatrans-Resveratrol, (3,5,4?-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene), a phenolic compound present in some plant species, have been shown to posses antioxidative, anticarcinogenic and antitumour properties. However, under UV light, it turns into -cis form and looses its bioactivity.This study aims to increase the stability of trans-resveratrol by loading it into chitosan microspheres. Within this context, the trans-resveratrol loaded chitosan microspheres was produced by spray drying and then the resultant microspheres were characterized. The particle size and the surface morphology of resultant microspheres were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the thermal properties were determined by thermogravimetry analyser(TGA). The stability of free and that of inside the microspheres was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It was found that the stability of trans-resveratrol incorporated into chitosan microspheres kept constant. ©2009 IEEE.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; Öztarhan, Ahmet; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Nikolaev, Alexey; Brown, IanBiodegradable 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.
