    Effect of pH and Hydration on the Normal and Lateral Interaction Forces Between Alumina Surfaces
    (2006) Polat, Mehmet; Sato, Kimiyasu; Nagaoka, Takaaki; Watari, Koji
    Normal and lateral interaction forces between alumina surfaces were measured using Atomic Force Microscopy-Colloid Probe Method at different pH. The normal force curves exhibit a well-defined repulsive barrier and an attractive minimum at acidic pH and the DLVO theory shows excellent agreement with the data. The normal forces are always repulsive at basic pH and the theory fails to represent the measurements. Lateral forces are almost an order of magnitude smaller in the basic solutions. These differences, which have important implications in the study of stability and rheology, are attributed to the hydration of the alumina surface at basic pH. © 2013 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    (Pamukkale Üniversitesi, 2018) Kırıl Mert, Berna; Doğan, Esra C.; Balcı, Esin; Tilki, Yasemin M.; Aksu, Şeyda; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Aydıner, Coşkun
    Bu çalışmada, etkinliği bilinen UF/NFsıkı/TO membran kombinasyonu ile tekstil atıksularının arıtımının yanısıra %75-80 su geri kazanım oranı dahilinde oluşan membran konsantrelerinin, bütünleşik ileri oksidasyon prosesi (Fenton ve foto-Fenton (UVA-365–UVC-254))/batık UF sistemi ile daha önce belirlenen optimum işletme şartlarında oksidasyona tabi tutularak yönetimi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan deneysel çalışmalar sonucunda, UF/NFsıkı/TO membran konfigürasyonu ile arıtımı sonucunda oluşan konsantre akımlarının Fenton, foto-Fenton (UVA-365) ve (UVC-254) prosesleri/batık UF sistemi ile oksidasyonu sonrası, ardışık işletimli foto-Fenton (UVC-254)/UH050 hibrit prosesinin 9.88 H2O2/TOK ve 7.27 H 2 O 2 /Fe 2 + oranlarında, 44 L/m 2 .sa’lik süzüntü akısında %86 KOİ giderimi ile KOİ değeri 167 mg/L’ye ve %74.2 TOK giderimi ile TOK değeri 104 mg/L’ye kadar düşürülerek en iyi performans gösteren yenilikçi proses olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Oluşan membran konsantrelerin oksidasyonu sonrasında kalan konsantrenin tehlikelilik özellikleri, bertaraf/geri kazanım yöntemleri ve yeniden kullanım alternatifleri değerlendirildiğinde tekstil endüstrisi atıksularının foto-Fenton (UVA-365) ile arıtımı sonucunda oluşan konsantre haricinde diğer tüm konsantrelerin tehlikeli özelliğine sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Konsantrelerin bertaraf/geri kazanım yöntemleri ayrıntılı olarak değerlendirildiğinde, gerekli düzenlemeler (nem içeriği, susuzlaştırma, uygun debi ve/veya karışım oranları) yapıldığı takdirde bu konsantrelerin düzenli depolama, yakma ve merkezi atıksu arıtma sistemine verme gibi seçeneklerle bertaraf edilebileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

    Bi̇yomalzemelerden İ̇zole Edi̇len Staphylococcus Epidermidis Suşlarinin Yüzey Özelli̇kleri̇ni̇n Beli̇rlenmesi̇
    (Ankara Mikrobiyoloji Derneği, 2010) Sudağıdan, Mert; Erdem, İlker; Çavuşoğlu, Cengiz; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin
    The surface properties of bacteria play an important role on adhesion to the biomaterial surface. In this study, the surface properties of Staphylococcus epidermidis strains isolated from clinically used polymeric biomaterial surfaces were investigated on the basis of zeta potential, hydrophobicity and surface topography. A total of 10 S.epidermidis strains isolated from intravenous catheters (n= 5), endotracheal tubes (n= 3) and central venous catheters (n= 2) which were used in the patients of pulmonary Intensive Care Unit, Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital, were included to the study. Seven of those isolates were biofilm producers, inhabiting biofilm genes, 2 were non-biofilm producers, however, inhabiting biofilm genes, and 1 was non-biofilm producer, inhabiting no biofilm genes. Zeta potential analysis have been performed in 3 different buffers (phosphate-buffered saline, 1 mM potassium chloride and 1 mM potassium phosphate buffer) and at different pH values (pH 4.1-8.2), in order to simulate in vivo environment of the biomaterials. Hydrophobicities of the strains were examined by bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbon (BATH) test and the surface topography of biofilms and slime layers were visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. It was found that all strains have negative zeta potential values (surface charge) in all buffers and pH values. In hydrophobicity analysis, the highest value (86%) was determined for non-biofilm forming S.epidermidis strain YT-169b (endotracheal tube isolate) and the lowest hydrophobicity (2.5%) was determined for biofilm forming S.epidermidis strain YT-212 (central venous catheter isolate). Biofilm and slime layers of the strains were imaginated by AFM and SEM analysis in ?m scale. SEM analysis showed that bacteria highly adhered to rough surfaces on biomaterial surfaces and the produced slime layers covered the surface of bacteria. In conclusion, elucidating the surface properties of opportunistic pathogens in different physiologic buffers will give important clues for the production of non-adhesive materials and antibacterial surfaces for those bacteria. It was also estimated that designing the surface of the biomaterial to have negative surface charge in the body and to be as smooth as possible will hamper biofilm formation.

    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.

    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.

    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.
