    Redox-Responsive Release of Active Payloads From Depolymerized Nanoparticles
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017) Lv, Li-Ping; Jiang, Shuai; İnan, Alper; Landfester, Katharina; Crespy, Daniel
    The difference in the reactivity of two monomers, aniline (ANI) and 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMcT), was employed to design nanoparticles with completely different nanostructures. The monomers were simultaneously polymerized by tandem oxidative polymerization occurring in the miniemulsion droplets. DMcT is also a corrosion inhibitor and its polymer can be depolymerized by reduction, which avoids the unwanted release of the payload DMcT when the capsules are not activated. The redox-responsive release profile of DMcT from the composite particles is controlled by the morphology of the particles and it was investigated for monolithic, multi-hollow, and yolk-shell structures. These PANI/PDMcT composite particles may find potential application in Li-S batteries or in the self-healing systems for corrosion protection.

    Modification of Electrospun Pva/Paa Scaffolds by Cold Atmospheric Plasma: Alignment, Antibacterial Activity, and Biocompatibility
    (Springer Verlag, 2019) Arik, Nehir; İnan, Alper; İbiş, Fatma; Demirci, Emine A.; Karaman, Ozan; Ercan, Utku K.; Horzum, Nesrin
    The ongoing search for better antibacterial wound care dressings has led to the design and fabrication of advanced functional nanomaterials. Taking advantage of electrospinning and cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), free-standing nanofibrous scaffolds are promising for use in novel biomedical applications. Random and aligned polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/polyacrylic acid (PAA) nanofiber scaffolds are fabricated by electrospinning and treated with CAP. In this study, we investigate the effects of CAP treatment on alignment, hydrophilicity, antibacterial activity, and biocompatibility in determining the surface properties of the nanofibrous scaffolds. The results of vibrational polarization spectroscopy analysis indicate that CAP treatment changes the degree of alignment of the nanofibers. Furthermore, both random and aligned CAP-treated nanofibrous scaffolds show significant antibacterial activity against the E. coli strain. The results of an in vitro scratch assay reveal that CAP treatment of PVA/PAA nanofibers has no toxic effect.
