Review Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Development and Functionalization of Electrospun Fiber Coated Thin Film Microextraction Devices for Rapid Mass Spectrometric Determination of Biologically Important Polar Molecules(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Öztürk,M.; Salih,B.; Eroğlu,A.E.; Boyaci,E.Rapid diagnosis of diseases is one of the challenging areas in clinical research. From the analytical chemist's perspective, the main challenges are isolating the compounds from the bio-specimen and lengthy analysis times. In this regard, solid phase microextraction offers a platform to address the abovementioned challenges. Moreover, its sharp tip-thin film geometry, known as coated blade spray (CBS), can enhance the extraction and act as an ionization source in direct mass spectrometric analysis. In this study, a new CBS device specifically designed for polar analytes was prepared and optimized to determine urinary metabolites. For this purpose, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was selected as a base polymer as it can be electrospun to form a nanofibrous structure, and it can be modified with weak ion exchange moieties to interact with polar analytes. Following the electrospinning of PAN, hydrolysis was optimized, and conditions leading to sufficient extraction enhancement without dissolving the polymer were obtained when probes were treated with 5.0 M of NaOH for 2.5 h. Using the coated blades prepared as explained, the evaluation of various extraction conditions showed that 5 min is sufficient for equilibrium extraction. In addition, the solution's ionic strength and pH significantly affect the extraction. Optimum sorption was obtained at no salt added and pH 7.0 conditions. The CBS-MS optimization showed that 10.0 µL of ACN/MeOH/H2O (40:40:20, v/v/v) with formic acid kept for 15 seconds on the blade before voltage application leads to the highest signal. The limits of quantification of the analytes are between 50 and 100 ng/mL. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.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; Sevim Ünlütürk, Seçil; Özçelik, SerdarCounterfeiting 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: 69Citation - Scopus: 77Novel Zein-Based Multilayer Wound Dressing Membranes With Controlled Release of Gentamicin(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019) Kimna, Ceren; Tamburacı, Sedef; Tıhmınlıoğlu, FundaRecently, functional multilayer scaffolds with controlled drug release ability come into prominence for wound healing applications to mimic the layered structure of skin tissue and prevent the possible infections at the defect site. In this study, controlled antibiotic releasing zein bilayer membranes were fabricated for treatment of acute skin infections. Gentamicin loaded fibers were prepared by electrospinning on the membrane surface. Membranes were characterized with scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, contact angle, mechanical analysis, swelling, degradation, and water vapor permeability studies. In vitro cytotoxicity, cell attachment, and proliferation were investigated. Cell attachment on fiber layer was observed with fluorescence imaging. Fabricated fibers showed structural similarity to the skin tissue layers with a fiber diameter range of 350-425 nm and film thickness in the range of 311-361 mu m. Mechanical properties were found compatible with the skin tissue. In addition, membranes showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The sustained release was achieved with a cumulative release of 94%. Membranes did not show any cytotoxic effect. NIH/3T3 and HS2 cell lines were proliferated on each layer mimicking the multilayer skin tissue. Hence, zein-based bilayer membrane showed promising properties to be used as a potential antimicrobial wound dressing for skin tissue regeneration.

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.
