In this study, this challenge was addressed by reporting a facile approach to fabricate pentablock co-polymer (PBC)-based thin-film composite (TFC) NF membranes. The PBC, consisting of temperature-responsive Pluronic F127 (PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO) middle blocks and pH-responsive poly(N,N-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) end blocks, were synthesized by atom-transfer radical polymerization. This polymer was then attached electrostatically to the surface of polysulfone/sulfonated polyether-sulfone support membranes fabricated using a non-solvent-induced phase separation technique. The conformational changes of the PBC chains in response to pH and temperature determined the, pure water flux and neutral solute (PEG 1000) rejection performance of TFC membranes. Permeability of the membranes increased from 13.0 +/- 0.63 to 15.9 +/- 0.06 L/m(2).h bar and from 6.7 +/- 0.00 to 13.9 +/- 0.07 L/m(2).h.bar by changing the solution pH from 4 to 8.5 and temperature from 4 to 25 degrees C, respectively. The pH- and temperature-responsive conformational changes did not affect the PEG 1000 rejection and membrane pore radius, which remained constant at similar to 89% and similar to 0.9 nm, respectively. This important finding was attributed to the high grafting density of co-polymer chains, resulting in spatial limitations among the grafted chains. The pore size of similar to 0.9 nm achieved with the proposed membrane design is the smallest size reported so far for membranes fabricated from block copolymers. TFC membranes demonstrated high stability and maintained their flux and rejection values under both static (storage in an acidic solution for up to 1 month) and dynamic (filtering PEG 1000 solution over 1 week) conditions. Pentablock copolymers enable a NF membrane with a sharp molecular weight cutoff suitable for size-selective separations. The membrane fabrication technique proposed in this study is a scalable and promising alternative that does not involve complex synthetic routes.Conference Object Hydrogen Production From Sugar Beet Wastewater in the Presence of Perovskite Type Catalysts by Photocatalysis(American Chemical Society, 2019) Yüksel Özşen, Aslı; Orak, Ceren[No abstract available]Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 37Production and Characterization of a Novel Bilayer Nanocomposite Scaffold Composed of Chitosan/Si-nhap and Zein/Poss Structures for Osteochondral Tissue Regeneration(American Chemical Society, 2019) Tamburacı, Sedef; Çeçen, Berivan; Üstün, Özcan; Ergür, Bekir Uğur; Havıtçıoğlu, Hasan; Tıhmınlıoğlu, FundaOsteochondral tissue is hard to regenerate after injuries or degenerative diseases. Traditional treatments still have disadvantages, such as donor tissue availability, donor site morbidity, implant loss, and limited durability of prosthetics. Thus, recent studies have focused on tissue engineering strategies to regenerate osteochondral defects with different scaffold designs. Scaffolds have been developed from monolayer structures to bilayer scaffolds to repair the cartilage-bone interface and to support each tissue separately. In this study, Si-substituted nanohydroxyapatite particles (Si-nHap) and silica-based POSS nanocages were used as reinforcements in different polymer layers to mimic a cartilage-bone tissue interface. Chitosan and zein, which are widely used biopolymers, are used as polymer layers to mimic the structure. This study reports the development of a bilayer scaffold produced via fabrication of two different nanocomposite layers with different polymer-inorganic composites in order to satisfy the complex and diverse regenerative requirements of osteochondral tissue. The chitosan/Si-nHap microporous layer and the zein/POSS nanofiber layer were designed to mimic a bone-cartilage tissue interface. Bilayer scaffolds were characterized with SEM, compression, swelling, and biodegradation tests to determine morphological, physical, and mechanical properties. The results showed that the bilayer scaffold had a structure composed of microporous and nanofiber layers joined at a continuous interface with appropriate mechanical properties. Furthermore, in vitro cell culture studies have been performed with LDH, proliferation, fluorescence imaging, and ALP activity assays using osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma cell lines. ALP expression levels provide a good illustration of the improved osteogenic potential of a porous chitosan/Si-nHap layer due to the Si-doped nHap incorporation. Histological data showed that both fiber and porous layers that mimic the cartilage and bone sections exhibit homogeneous cell distribution and matrix formation. Histochemical staining was used to determine the cell proliferation and ECM formation on each layer. In vitro studies indicated that zein-POSS/chitosan/Si-nHap nanocomposite bilayer scaffolds showed promising results for osteochondral regeneration. Copyright © 2019 American Chemical Society.
