    Biomimetic Peptide-Conjugated Membranes for Developing an Artificial Cornea
    (IEEE, 2022) Sunal, Gülşah; Pulat, Günnur; Akgün, İsmail Hakkı; Güven, Sinan; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Karaman, Ozan; Horzum, Nesrin
    The corneal endothelium is composed of a single layer of specialized endothelial cells, protecting, and nourishing the inner surface of the cornea. Corneal endothelial cells do not proliferate after birth and their number decrease with age. Trauma, inflammation, or surgical intervention can cause cell loss. When damage is extensive and the density of corneal endothelial cells decreases to a critical level, it results in corneal edema and vision loss. Besides them, when corneal endothelium has irreversible damage, the only treatment way is corneal transplantation. But there are some drawbacks such as finding donors, immune reactions, and the number of patients waiting on the transplantation lists for years. Tissue engineering approaches can provide promising alternatives for the regeneration of corneal endothelium tissue. Peptides can be used to modify and functionalize the scaffolds, allowing for the production of bioactive and biomimetic surfaces. Peptide-modified scaffold surfaces might direct and enhance the behaviors of cells. In this study, the aim was to functionalize the polycaprolactone (PCL) membranes with tissue-specific peptides and to characterize the peptide-conjugated membranes by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The synthesized peptides were successfully conjugated on the PCL biomembranes.

    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.

    Determination of Aluminum Oxide Thickness on the Annealed Surface of 8000 Series Aluminum Foil by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
    (Springer, 2017) İnanç Uçar, Özlem; Ekin Meşe, Ayten; Birbaşar, Onur; Dündar, Murat; Özdemir, Durmuş
    Aluminum foil produced with prescribed thermomechanical processing route develop oxide film. Alloy chemistry and annealing practices, particularly its duration and exposed temperature, determine the characteristics of the oxide film. The magnitude and characteristics of the oxide film may impair surface features leading to serious problems in some applications, such as coating, printing and in some severe cases failure in formability. Therefore, it is important for the rolling industry to be able to monitor the oxide formation on the foil products and quantify its thickness. Well known methods to measure an oxide thickness that is in the order of nanometer, require meticulous sample preparation techniques, long duration for measurements and sophisticated equipment. However, in this study, a simple and rapid grazing angle attenuated total reflectance infrared (GA-ATR-FTIR) spectroscopic method combined with chemometrics multivariate calibration has been developed for the oxide thickness determination which is validated with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). 3000 and 8000 series aluminum foil materials which were produced by twin roll casting technique were used in this study. Foil samples were annealed at various different temperatures and annealing times in a laboratory scale furnace. Immediately after collecting GA-ATR-FTIR spectra, the 3000 series alloy samples were sent to a laboratory where XPS reference oxide thickness measurements had been performed. Partial Least Squares (PLS) method was used to develop a multivariate calibration model based on FTIR spectra and XPS reference oxide thickness values in order to predict the aluminum oxide thickness. The correlation coefficient of XPS reference oxide thickness values versus grazing angle ATR-FTIR based PLS predicted values was found as 0.9903 the standard error of cross validation (SECV) was found to be 0.29 nm in range of 4.9–14.0 nm for Al2O3. In addition, the standard error of prediction (SEP) for the validation set was 0.24 nm with the model generated with three principal components (PCs). © The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society 2017.

    Yapay Sindirim Sıvısında Doğal Zeolitlerde Meydana Gelen Morfolojik Değişmeler
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Demirbüker Kavak, Dilek; Özçelik, Serdar; Ülkü, Semra
    Doğal zeolitler biyoaktif maddelerdir. Doğal zeolitlerin hayvanlarda biyokütle arttırıcı besi katkı maddesi, insanlarda ülser tedavisinde mide asitliğini tamponlayıcı, asitliği düşürücü ilaç gibi değişik kullanım alanları mevcuttur. Değişik sağlık alanlarında kullanımlarından dolayı, zeolitlerin yapısal stabilitesinin sindirim sırasında belirlenmesi; olası olumlu veya olumsuz etkileşimleri anlamak açısından önem taşımaktadır. Gerçekleştirilen araştırmada, yapay sindirim sırasında zeolitte meydana gelebilecek olası morfolojik değişimlerin incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla zeolitin ABTS ile radikal sönümleme kapasitesi araştırılmış, yapay sindirim denemeleri gerçekleştirilerek de uygulama süreci sonrası yapıda olası değişimler ve adsorpsiyonlar taramalı elektron mikroskobu, FTIR, XRD analizleri ile incelenmiştir. 3g/100ml zeolitin ABTS radikalini %45 inhibe ettiği bulunmuştur. Taramalı elektron mikroskobu deneyleri sonucunda yapay sindirilmiş örneklerin yüzey morfolojisinde değişim gözlenmemiştir. Element analizleri yapısal kaybın olmadığını, Al ve Si elementlerinin ağırlıkça yüzdelerinin, kontrol örnekleriyle (Al:8.1; Si: 39) sindirilmiş örneklerde (Al:8.2; Si: 38.3) yaklaşık aynı olduğunu göstermiştir. Infrared spektrum (IR) ve X-ray ışını kırınımı analizleri sonuçları ise bu bulguları doğrulamıştır. Ayrıca taramalı elektron mikroskobu ve IR spektrum sonuçları yapay sindirim ortamındaki maddelerin, zeolit yüzeyinde adsorplanmadıklarıını göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak doğal zeolitler, yapay sindirim sırasında yapısal stabilitelerini kaybetmemektedirler.

    Olive Oil Adulteration With Sunflower and Corn Oil Using Molecular Fluorescence Spectroscopy
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Öztürk, Betül; Arıkan, Aysun; Özdemir, Durmuş
    Adulteration of olive oil with cheaper substitutes such as sunflower and corn oil is a major concern for the public. Rapid analysis methods are required for a quick and easy screening of possible adulteration attempts. Fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with a genetic algorithm-based multivariate calibration method allows the determination of olive oil adulteration with sunflower and corn oil. Because the standard error of prediction values are all below 1.30% (w/w) for the ternary set, fluorescence spectroscopy can be used as a fast screening method for possible olive oil adulteration with cheaper vegetable oils. In addition, the genetic algorithm used in the genetic inverse least squares (GILS) method is able to select and extract the most relevant information to build successful calibration models that have high predictive ability for the independent test samples.

    Effects of Mechanical Treatment on the Formation of Α-Al 2o3 From Gibbsite
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Şakar Deliormanlı, Aylin; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Polat, Hürriyet
    In this study preparation of fine alpha alumina powders derived from Bayer gibbsite was studied. Preparation of the alumina powders was performed by decomposition of the gibbsite into transition alumina phase followed by controlled transformation to the alpha phase. Gibbsite was thermally treated at 350°C and 900°C to obtain a transition form of alumina. The purpose of the heat treatment at 350°C was to increase the surface area of the gibbsite particles and obtain a loosely packed structure that may reduce the size of the rather coarse precursor gibbsite during the grinding step. Mechanical treatment (by using ultrasonic forces and impact forces) was utilized to increase the transformation rate to the alpha alumina in the transition phase matrix and influence the nucleation and growth rate of the solid -solid phase transformation. These powders were calcined at 1100, 1200 and 1450°C for 1 to 8 hours. Results indicated that transformation to the alpha phase was accomplished in the powders preheated at 900°C, ultrasonically treated or ground, and then calcined at 1200°C for 2 to 8 hours or at 1450°C for 2 hours. Ultrasonic treatment accelerated the transformation rate to the alpha phase at 1100°C in 2 hours. Powders that were calcined at 1100 to 1200°C for 1 hour had a significant kappa content together with the alpha phase. Additionally the powder prepared without mechanical treatment and calcined at 1100°C was mainly in the kappa phase.
