    A Recycling Route of Plastics Via Electrospinning: From Daily Wastes To Functional Fibers
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2019) Isık, Tuğba; Horzum,N.; Demir, Mustafa Muammer
    Since large-scale plastic production has begun in the 1940s, plastics have been produced and used globally, bringing many advantages to modern life. The consumption of plastics has increased exponentially due to their low cost, chemical resistance, lightness, durability and ability to combine with other materials. However, plastic materials represent high tonnage in urban wastes, and it is known that these plastics discarded at the end of their useful life by filling the landfill sites. Electrospinning is a well-established and versatile technique for the fabrication of submicron fibers. In addition, it is a promising approach for the recycling of waste polymers without using complex methodologies. In this chapter, utilization of electrospinning approach for the recycling of daily wastes will be discussed. The literature about the daily wastes of both synthetic materials and natural/agricultural materials will be analyzed, and the applications of these materials will be given in detail. © 2019 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.

    Impact of Simulated Inflammation and Food Breakdown on the Synergistic Interaction Between Corrosion and Wear on Titanium
    (Elsevier, 2024) Lima, A.R.; Pinto, A.M.P.; Toptan, F.; Alves, A.C.
    This paper investigates the impact of lactic acid and phosphoric acid additives in artificial saliva (AS), simulating inflammation and food breakdown, on the electrochemical and tribo-electrochemical behavior of titanium. The results showed that, unlike lactic acid, phosphoric acid significantly reduced corrosion resistance, mainly due to local damage and heterogeneities on the passive film. Non-additivated AS caused greater wear volume loss, with mechanical wear identified as the main mechanism. However, when additives were present, a synergistic interplay between corrosion and wear was observed. The study concludes that prolonged exposure to food breakdown could accelerate material degradation in titanium. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

    Electrospun Gelma Fibers and P(hema) Matrix Composite for Corneal Tissue Engineering
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Arıca, Tuğçe A.; Güzelgülgen, Meltem; Yıldız, Ahu Arslan; Demir, Mustafa Muammer
    The development of biocompatible and transparent three-dimensional materials is desirable for corneal tissue engineering. Inspired from the cornea structure, gelatin methacryloyl-poly(2-hydroxymethyl methacrylate) (GelMA-p(HEMA)) composite hydrogel was fabricated. GelMA fibers were produced via electrospinning and covered with a thin layer of p(HEMA) in the presence of N,N?-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as cross-linker by drop-casting. The structure of resulting GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was characterized by spectrophotometry, microscopy, and swelling studies. Biocompatibility and biological properties of the both p(HEMA) and GelMA-p(HEMA) composite have been investigated by 3D cell culture, red blood cell hemolysis, and protein adsorption studies (i.e., human serum albumin, human immunoglobulin and egg white lysozyme). The optical transmittance of the GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was found to be approximately 70% at 550 nm. The GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was biocompatible with tear fluid proteins and convenient for cell adhesion and growth. Thus, as prepared hydrogel composite may find extensive applications in future for the development of corneal tissue engineering as well as preparation of stroma of the corneal material. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

    Advanced Sensor and Detection Materials
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2014) Tiwari, Ashutosh; Demir, Mustafa Muammer
    Presents a comprehensive and interdisciplinary review of the major cutting-edge technology research areas-especially those on new materials and methods as well as advanced structures and properties-for various sensor and detection devices. The development of sensors and detectors at macroscopic or nanometric scale is the driving force stimulating research in sensing materials and technology for accurate detection in solid, liquid, or gas phases; contact or non-contact configurations; or multiple sensing. The emphasis on reduced-scale detection techniques requires the use of new materials and methods. These techniques offer appealing perspectives given by spin crossover organic, inorganic, and composite materials that could be unique for sensor fabrication. The influence of the length, composition, and conformation structure of materials on their properties, and the possibility of adjusting sensing properties by doping or adding the side-groups, are indicative of the starting point of multifarious sensing. The role of intermolecular interactions, polymer and ordered phase formation, as well as behavior under pressure and magnetic and electric fields are also important facts for processing ultra-sensing materials. The 15 chapters written by senior researchers in Advanced Sensor and Detection Materials cover all these subjects and key features under three foci: 1) principals and perspectives, 2) new materials and methods, and 3) advanced structures and properties for various sensor devices. © 2014 Scrivener Publishing LLC.

    Development of Graphene Nanoplatelets Reinforced Aluminium Matrix Nanocomposites by a Combination of Semi-Solid Stirring and Ultrasonic Treatment
    (European Conference on Composite Materials, 2016) Kandemir, Sinan; Aydoğan, Yücel
    Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) consisting of graphene layers with a thickness less than 100 nm have recently emerged as a promising reinforcement type owing to their excellent physical and mechanical properties to improve mechanical properties of alloys beyond ceramic nanoparticles. Although there are numerous studies on GNPs reinforced polymer matrix composites in the literature, the number of studies related to the incorporation of GNPs in metal matrices is limited. It is a challenging task to incorporate and uniformly distribute GNPs into liquid metals due to their poor wettability and large surface-to-volume ratio. The purpose of this study is to effectively disperse GNPs into liquid aluminium. 0.5 wt.% GNPs with an average thickness of 50-100 nm and size of 5 ?m were first incorporated into A360 aluminium alloy under semi-solid stirring, and then the composite was ultrasonically treated in fully liquid state. The microstructural investigation of the nanocomposites by optical and scanning electron microscopy may suggest that relatively uniform distribution and effective deagglomeration of GNPs in the matrix were achieved. The hardness of the GNPs reinforced nanocomposites increased in comparison with that of semi-solid stirred and ultrasonically processed A360 alloy without reinforcement, indicating the potential of GNPs for strengthening metals. © 2016, European Conference on Composite Materials, ECCM.
