    Polarized Emission From Cspbbr3 Nanowire Embedded-Electrospun Pu Fibers
    (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018) Güner, Tuğrul; Topçu, Gökhan; Savacı, Umut; Genç, Aziz; Sarı, Emre; Demir, Mustafa Muammer
    Interest in all-inorganic halide perovskites has been increasing dramatically due to their high quantum yield, band gap tunability, and ease of fabrication in compositional and geometric diversity. In this study, we synthesized several hundreds of nanometer long and ∼4 nm thick CsPbBr3 nanowires (NWs). They were then integrated into electrospun polyurethane (PU) fibers to examine the polarization behavior of the composite fiber assembly. Aligned electrospun fibers containing CsPbBr3 NWs showed a remarkable increase in the degree of polarization from 0.17-0.30. This combination of NWs and PU fibers provides a promising composite material for various applications such as optoelectronic devices and solar cells.

    Folic Acid Modified Clay/Polymer Nanocomposites for Selective Cell Adhesion
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014) Barlas, Fırat Barış; Ağ Şeleci, Didem; Özkan, Melek; Demir, Bilal; Şeleci, Muharrem; Aydın, Muhammed; Taşdelen, M. A.; Zareie, Hadi M.; Timur, Suna; Özçelik, Serdar; Yağcı, Yusuf
    A folic acid (FA) modified poly(epsilon-caprolactone)/clay nanocomposite (PCL/MMT-(CH2CH2OH)2-FA) resulting in selective cell adhesion and proliferation was synthesized and characterized as a cell culture and biosensing platform. For this purpose, first the FA modified clay (MMT-(CH2CH2OH)2-FA) was prepared by treating the organo-modified clay, Cloisite 30B [MMT-(CH2CH 2OH)2] with FA in chloroform at 60°C. Subsequent ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone in the presence of tin octoate (Sn(Oct)2) using MMT-(CH2CH2OH)2-FA at 110°C resulted in the formation of MMT-(CH2CH 2OH)2-FA with an exfoliated clay structure. The structures of intermediates and the final nanocomposite were investigated in detail by FT-IR spectral analysis and DSC, TGA, XRD, SEM and AFM measurements. The combination of FA, PCL and clay provides a simple and versatile route to surfaces that allows controlled and selective cell adhesion and proliferation. FA receptor-positive HeLa and negative A549 cells were used to prove the selectivity of the modified surfaces. Both microscopy and electrochemical sensing techniques were applied to show the differences in cell adherence on the modified and pristine clay platforms. This approach is expected to be adapted into various bio-applications such as 'cell culture on chip', biosensors and design of tools for targeted diagnosis or therapy.
