Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Physically Unclonable Security Patterns Created by Electrospinning, and Authenticated by Two-Step Validation Method(IOP Publishing, 2022) Taşcıoğlu, Didem; Atçı, Arda; Taşcıoğlu, Didem; Özçelik, Serdar; Özçelik, Serdar; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04. Faculty of ScienceCounterfeiting is a growing economic and social problem. For anticounterfeiting, random and inimitable droplet/fiber patterns were created by the electrospinning method as security tags that are detectable under UV light but invisible in daylight. To check the authenticity of the original security patterns created; images were collected with a simple smartphone microscope and a database of the recorded original patterns was created. The originality of the random patterns was checked by comparing them with the patterns recorded in the database. In addition, the spectral signature of the patterns in the droplet/fiber network was obtained with a simple and hand-held spectrometer. Thus, by reading the spectral signature from the pattern, the spectral information of the photoluminescent nanoparticles was verified and thus a second-step verification was established. In this way, anticounterfeiting technology that combines ink formula, unclonable security pattern creation and two-level verification is developed.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Effect of Cnt Incorporation on Pan/Ppy Nanofibers Synthesized by Electrospinning Method(TÜBİTAK, 2020) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Selamet, Yusuf; Tanoğlu, Metin; Tanoğlu, Metin; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Selamet, Yusuf; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) added polyacrylonitrile/polypyrrole (PAN/PPy) electrospun nanofibers were produced. Average diameters of the nanofibers were measured as 268 and 153 nm for 10 and 25 wt% of PPy contents, respectively. A relatively higher strain to failure values (23.3%) were observed for the low PPy content. When as-grown CNTs (1 and 4 wt%) were added into the PAN/PPy blends, disordered nanofibers were observed to form within the microstructure. To improve the interfacial properties of CNTs/PAN/PPy composites, CNTs were functionalized with H2SO4/HNO3/HCl solution. The functionalized CNTs were well dispersed within the nanofibers and aligned along the direction of nanofibers. Therefore, beads formation on nanofibers decreased. The impedance of the nanofibers was found to decrease with the PPy content and CNT addition. These nanofibers had a great potential to be used as an electrochemical actuator or a tissue engineering scaffold.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 27Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Random and Aligned Pan/Ppy Nanofibrous Scaffolds(SAGE Publications, 2019) Meşe Özçivici, Gülistan; Selamet, Yusuf; Baskan, Öznur; Özçivici, Engin; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Özçivici, Engin; 03.01.

Faculty of ScienceThe aim of this study was to develop random and aligned polyacrilonitrile (PAN)/polypyrrole (PPy) nanofibrous scaffolds by electrospinning technique for osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Nanofibers were fabricated successfully as straight, smooth, and free from bead formation. The average diameter of random and aligned nanofibers was 268(+/- 49) nm and 225(+/- 72) nm, respectively. Alignment process increased the tensile strength of nanofibers 3.9-fold, while the tensile strain of nanofibers decreased by 78%. PAN/PPy nanofibers were hydrophilic with the contact angle value of about 32 degrees and alignment did not affect the contact angle value. Random and aligned PAN/PPy nanofibers were investigated as a scaffold material for osteogenic differentiation of D1 ORL UVA mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Cells were able to attach and grow on nanofibers confirmed by cell viability results. Stem cells that were cultured with osteogenic induction were able to mineralize on electrospun nanofibers based on alizarin red and Von Kossa dye staining. For aligned PPy nanofibers, mineralization occurred in the fiber alignment direction. Consequently, PAN/PPy nanofibrous mats in both random and aligned forms would be potential candidates for bone tissue engineering.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 14Optimization and Performance of Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Dots as a Color Conversion Layer for White-Led Applications(Beilstein-Institut Zur Forderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2019) Güner, Tuğrul; Yüce, Hürriyet; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Şimşek, Eren; Savacı, Umut; Genç, Aziz; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Yüce, Hürriyet; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, green-emitting nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDots) were synthesized and incorporated into drop-cast composite films for use as color conversion layers in a white-LED configuration to generate white light. In order to resolve the red deficiency of this configuration, a commercial red phosphor was integrated into the system. Moreover, the N-CDots were also processed into polymer/N-CDot composite fibers, for which we determined the amount of N-CDots that yielded adequate white-light properties. Finally, we showed that white light with excellent properties could be generated by employing both of the fabricated N-CDot composites either as drop-cast films or composite fibers. Hence, N-CDots provide a promising alternative to inorganic phosphors that are commonly employed in white-LED configurations.Article Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 46Electrospun Polystyrene Fibers Knitted Around Imprinted Acrylate Microspheres as Sorbent for Paraben Derivatives(Elsevier, 2018) Demirkurt, Merve; Ölçer, Yekta Arya; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of ScienceParabens are used as antimicrobial preservatives in food, cosmetic products and pharmaceuticals regardless of their endocrine disrupting effect. In this study, highly selective molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized in submicron-sizes and converted to an SPME fiber coating through electrospinning process in order to determine parabens in water samples. Conversion of MIP to a fiber is achieved via creation of spacial knitting around MIP by polystyrene. The selectivity and extraction ability of the fibers were compared with the commercial fibers and the corresponding non-imprinted polymer (NIP) coated fiber. The coated fiber showed better extraction ability among them. Also, the results revealed that the fiber has better selectivity for benzyl paraben and the other structurally-related compounds, such as methyl and propyl paraben. Extraction efficiency of prepared fibers for three parabens has been tested by spiking bottled, tap and sea water samples. The recoveries changed between 92.2 ± 0.8 and 99.8 ± 0.1 for three different water types. This method could be used for selective and sensitive determination of parabens in aqueous samples.Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 39Polarized Emission From Cspbbr3 Nanowire Embedded-Electrospun Pu Fibers(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018) Sarı, Emre; Topçu, Gökhan; Savacı, Umut; Genç, Aziz; Genç, Aziz; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; 04.04. Department of Photonics; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyInterest 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.Article Citation - WoS: 64Citation - Scopus: 67Hierarchically Structured Metal Oxide/Silica Nanofibers by Colloid Electrospinning(American Chemical Society, 2012) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Mun˜oz-Espí, Rafael; Glasser, Gunnar; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Landfester, Katharina; Crespy, Daniel; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyWe present herein a new concept for the preparation of nanofibrous metal oxides based on the simultaneous electrospinning of metal oxide precursors and silica nanoparticles. Precursor fibers are prepared by electrospinning silica nanoparticles (20 nm in diameter) dispersed in an aqueous solution of poly(acrylic acid) and metal salts. Upon calcination in air, the poly(acrylic acid) matrix is removed, the silica nanoparticles are cemented, and nanocrystalline metal oxide particles of 4-14 nm are nucleated at the surface of the silica nanoparticles. The obtained continuous silica fibers act as a structural framework for metal oxide nanoparticles and show improved mechanical integrity compared to the neat metal oxide fibers. The hierarchically nanostructured materials are promising for catalysis applications, as demonstrated by the successful degradation of a model dye in the presence of the fibers.Article Citation - WoS: 74Humidity Sensing Properties of Zno-Based Fibers by Electrospinning(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Taşçıoğlu, Didem; Okur, Salih; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyZinc oxide (ZnO) based fibers with a diameter of 80-100 nm were prepared by electrospinning. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and zinc acetate dihydrate were dissolved in water and the polymer/salt solution was electrospun at 2.5 kV cm-1. The resulting electrospun fibers were subjected to calcination at 500 °C for 2 h to obtain ZnO-based fibers. Humidity sensing properties of the fiber mats were investigated by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) method and electrical measurements. The adsorption kinetics under constant relative humidity (RH) between 10% and 90% were explained using Langmuir adsorption model. Results of the measurements showed that ZnO-based fibers were found to be promising candidate for humidity sensing applications at room temperature.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 28Mechanical Interlocking Between Porous Electrospun Polystyrene Fibers and an Epoxy Matrix(American Chemical Society, 2014) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Horzum, Nesrin; Taşdemirci, Alper; Turan, Ali Kıvanç; Güden, Mustafa; Güden, Mustafa; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAn epoxy matrix filled with nonwoven mats of porous polystyrene (PS) fibers processed by an electrospinning was compression tested at quasi-static (1 × 10–3 s–1) and high strain (315 s–1) rates. The electrospun PS fibers with a diameter between 6 and 9 μm, accommodated spherical pores on the surface with the sizes ranging from 0.1 to 0.2 μm. The filling epoxy matrix with 0.2 wt % PS fibers increased the compressive elastic modulus and compressive strength over those of neat epoxy resin. The microscopic observations indicated that the surface pores facilitated the resin intrusions into the fiber, enhancing the interlocking between resin and fibers, and increased the deformation energy expenditure of the polymer matrix.
