Bu amaçla buğday nişastası farklı oranlarda$H_2SO_4$ (1:2 ve 1:4 nişasta:asit) ile beş gün boyunca 50℃ sıcaklıkta hidroliz edilmiştir. Hidroliz sonrasında örnekler diyalize tabitutularak safsızlıklar giderilmiş, liyofilize edilerek kurutulmuştur. Elde edilen nişasta nanokristalleri taramalı elektron mikroskobu(SEM) kullanılarak boyut; X-Işını Kırınım Spektroskopisi (XRD) kullanılarak yapı ve kristalinite; Fourier dönüşümlü kızılötesispektrometresi (FT-IR) kullanılarak yapı açısından karakterize edilmiştir. Doğal haldeki buğday nişastası da aynı şekilde karakterizeedilmiş ve hidroliz işleminin yapı, boyut ve kristalinite üzerine etkisi incelenmiştir.SEM görüntüleri incelendiğinde buğday nişastasının boyutlarının 5-10 µm arasında değişim gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Asit hidrolizisonucunda ise nişasta boyutunun oldukça azaldığı ve 50 nm’nin altına düştüğü gözlenmiştir. Doğal haldeki buğday nişastasıbirbirinden bağımsız granüller halinde iken nişasta nanokristalleri kümeleşmiş halde görüntülenmiştir. XRD desenleri incelendiğindeasit hidrolizi ile elde edilen nişasta nanokristallerin buğdayın tipik X-ışını kırınım deseni olan A-tipi X-ışını kırınım desenini verdiğigözlenmiştir. X-ışını kırınım desenleri yapı açısından incelendiğinde işlem görmemiş doğal haldeki buğday nişastası ile nişastananokristallerin arasında fark görülmese de, bu örneklerin kristalinite indeks değerlerinin farklı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Doğal haldekibuğday nişastasının kristalinite indeks değeri %42,2 olarak belirlenmişken, asit hidrolizi ile üretilen nişasta nanokristallerininkristalinite indeks değerleri daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Düşük oranda asit kullanılarak üretilen nişasta nanokristalinin (1:2) kristaliniteindeks değeri %57,3 iken daha yüksek oranda kullanılarak üretilen nişasta nanokristalininin (1:4) kristalinite indeks değeri %68,5olarak belirlenmiştir. FT-IR sonuçlarına göre ise nişasta nanokristallerin doğal buğday nişastası ile aynı yapıya sahip olduğugözlemlenmiştir.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Investigation of Peroxidase-Like Activity of Flower-Shaped Nanobiocatalyst From Viburnum Opulus L. Extract on the Polymerization Reactions(Turkish Chemical Society, 2024-08-30) Kalayci, Berkant; Kaplan, Naime; Mirioglu, Muge; Dadi, Seyma; Öçsoy, Ismail; Göktürk, ErsenHere, we report the effects of peroxidase-mimicking activity of flower shaped hybrid nanobiocatalyst obtained from Viburnum-Opulus L. (Gilaburu) extract and Cu2+ ions on the polymerization of phenol and its derivatives (guaiacol and salicylic acid). The obtained nanoflowers exhibited quite high catalytic activity upon the polymerization of phenol and guaiacol. The yields and the number average molecular weights of the obtained polymers were significantly high. Due to solubility issue of salicylic acid in aqueous media, polymerization of salicylic acid resulted in very low yields. Free-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme is known to be losing its catalytic activity at 60 °C and above temperatures. However, the synthesized nanoflowers exhibited quite high catalytic activity even at 60 °C and above reaction temperatures. This provides notable benefits for reactions needed at high temperatures, and it is very important to use these kinds of nanobiocatalysts for both scientific studies and industrial applications. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Fabrication of Gd2o3/Psf Membranes Via Aqueous Phase Inversion Method(2022-09-28) Uzal, Nıgmet; Gül, Ayse; Arslan, Dilek ŞenolThe purpose of this study was to look into the effect of Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) concentration (0.5%, 1%, and 2%) on the performance of newly developed Gd2 O3 /PSF membranes A common phase inversion method was used to create the membranes. Pure water flux and bovine serum albumin (BSA) permeation tests were used to evaluate membrane performance. FTIR and contact angle measurements were used to characterize the membranes that were manufactured. The greatest percentage of BSA rejection was 53%. In this work, the optimum membrane (2% wt Gd2O3/17% wt PSF) successfully demonstrated 53% rejection with filtrate flux for about 8.7 L/m2.h at a pressure of 10 bar.Article Efficiency of L-DOPA+TiO2 Modified RO Membrane on Salinity Gradient Energy Generation by Pressure Retarded Osmosis(Pamukkale Univ, 2024) Ates, Nuray; Saki, Seda; Gokcek, Murat; Uzal, NigmetHarvesting energy from the salinity gradient of seawater and river water using pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has been a major research topic of recent years. However, there is a need for efficient PRO membranes that can generate high power density and are pressure resistant, as the performance of current membranes on the market is poor. In this study, specific energy potential of PRO process using LDOPA+TiO2 modified BW30-LE membrane was evaluated on synthetic and real water samples. Polyamide BW30-LE RO membrane was modified by L-DOPA, L-DOPA+0.5 wt% TiO2 and L-DOPA+1 wt% TiO2. The effect of hydraulic pressure and temperature on generation of power density were evaluated for 5, 10, and 15 bar pressures, as well as 10 degrees C, 20 degrees C, and 30 degrees C degrees. The incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles with L-DOPA increased the water flux by increasing the surface hydrophilicity and roughness of the membrane surface. The maximum specific power was observed as 1.6 W/m(2) for L-DOPA+1 wt% TiO2 modified BW30-LE membrane at 15 bar pressure. Besides, Mediterranean and Aegean, Black Sea water samples were used as draw solution and Seyhan, Ceyhan, Buyuk Menderes, Gediz, Yesilirmak, and Kizilirmak Rivers were used as feed solution. The highest osmotic power density was obtained by using L-DOPA+1 wt% TiO2 modified BW30-LE membrane with Ceyhan River as feed and Mediterranean Sea water as draw solution, which have the highest differences in salinity. In the mixture of Mediterranean and Ceyhan River, the highest power density was obtained at 10 bar pressure at 30 +/- 5 degrees C with 0.70 W/m(2).Article Effects of Dry Particle Coating With Nano-and Microparticles on Early Compressive Strength of Portland Cement Pastes(Tulpar Academic Publishing, 2021-12-16) Yorulmaz, Hediye; Özuzun, Sümeyye; Uzal, Burak; İLkentapar, Serhan; Durak, Uğur; Karahan, Okan; Atis, C. D.It is known that nano-and microparticles have been very popular in recent years since their advantages. However, due to the very small size of such materials, they have very high tendency to agglomeration particularly for nanoparticles. Therefore, it is critical that they are properly distributed in the system to which they are added. This paper investigated the effects of dry particle coating with nano-and microparticles to solve the agglomeration problem. For a clear evaluation, paste samples were preferred to detemine the compressive strength. Nano-SiO<inf>2</inf> and nano-CaCO<inf>3</inf>, microCaCO<inf>3</inf> and micro-SiO<inf>2</inf>, also known as silica fume, were selected as particulate additives. It was studied by the addition of various percentages (0.3, 0.7, 1, 2, 3 and 5%) of nano-and microparticles in cementitious systems, replacing cement by weight with and without dry particle coating. Dry particle coating was made by using a highspeed paddle mixer. Portland cement and additive particles were mixed at 1500 rpm for 30 seconds in high-speed powder mixer designed for this purpose. The 3-day compressive strength of the cement-based samples to which particles were added at the specified rates was determined and the effect of the dry particle coating on the early strength was investigated. According to the results, it was observed that the production of paste with the dry particle coating technique gave higher compressive strength compared to the production of paste directly in early period. Especially with dry particle coating, compressive strength increased more than 100% in paste samples containing 0.3% nano-SiO<inf>2</inf> compared to direct addition without coating. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Broadband Low Reflection Surfaces With Silicon Nano-Pillar Square Arrays for Energy Harvesting(2022-01-30) Tut, TurgutIn this work, optimization of the nanopillar arrays and thin films coated on silicon substrate has been investigated in order to minimize the optical reflection loss from the silicon substrate surface. Nano-pillars's height, incline angle, array properties are systematically optimized. Full field Finite Difference Time Domain method is used to simulate EM fields and calculate the reflection from the modified nanostructured substrate surfaces in 400nm-1100nm spectral range. Optimization recipe is clearly presented and it is not only useful for square arrays but for regular arrays of nano-pillars in general.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4All-Polymer Ultrasonic Transducer Design for an Intravascular Ultrasonography Application(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2019-07-26) Hah, DooyoungIntravascular ultrasonography (IVUS), a medical imaging modality, is used to obtain cross-sectional views of blood vessels from inside. In IVUS, transducers are brought to the proximity of the imaging targets so that high-resolution images can be obtained at high frequency without much concern of signal attenuation. To eliminate mechanical rotation rendered in conventional IVUS, it is proposed to manufacture a transducer array on a flexible substrate and wrap it around a cylindrical frame. The transducer of consideration is a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT). The whole device needs to be made out of polymers to be able to endure a high degree of bending (radius: 1 mm) Bending of the devices leads to considerable changes in the device characteristics, including resonant frequency and pull-in voltage due to geometrical dimension changes and stress induced. The main purpose of this work is to understand the effect of bending on the device characteristics by means of finite element analysis. Another objective of the work is to understand the relationships between such an effect and the device geometries. It is learned that the bending-induced stress depends strongly on anchor width, membrane thickness, and substrate thickness. It is also learned that resonant frequency and pull-in voltage become lower in most cases because of using a flexible substrate in comparison to those of the device on a rigid substrate. Bending-induced stress increases the spring constant and hence increases resonant frequency and pull-in voltage, although this effect is relatively weaker. For most of the device geometries, pull-in voltage is too high for the polymer material to endure. This is the main drawback of the all-polymer CMUT. In order to meet the design goal of 20 MHz resonant frequency, the membrane radius has to be smaller than 7.7 mu m for a thickness of 3 mu m.Article Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Walnut Shell Powder and Cynara sp. and Their Antibacterial Activities(2022-10-09) Erdem, İlker; Çakır, ŞerifeGümüş (Ag) ilgi çeken özellikleri ile (katalitik etkinlik, antimikrobiyal, vb.) bilinen bir malzemedir.

Nanoparticular drug delivery systems prepared with biocompatible and biodegradable polymers such as polycaprolactone are rational solution for anticancer agents with poor solubility and low bioavailability. The aim of this study is to prepare paclitaxel-loaded polycaprolactone nanoparticles, which is known to be a potent anticancer, and to elucidate in vitro characteristics and release kinetic mechanisms. Material and Method: It was aimed to prepare paclitaxel-loaded polycaprolactone nanoparticles by nanoprecipitation. Preformulation studies were carried out with different molecular weights of polycaprolactone (Mw: 14.000, Mw: 80.000). Nanoparticles were coated with Chitosan or Poly-l-lysine to obtain cationic surface charge and to increase cellular interaction. Comprehensive characterization of formulations and release kinetic studies were performed. Result and Discussion: The particle size of the formulations ranged from 188 nm to 383 nm. Encapsulation efficiency increased to 77% in different formulations. SEM analysis confirmed the nanoparticles were spherical. Within the scope of in vitro release studies, the release continued for up to 96 hours and less than 50% of the therapeutic load was released in the first 24 hours. Mathematical modeling indicated that the release kinetics fit more than one model with the Korsmeyer-Peppas, Peppas-Sahlin and Weibull models, which show high correlation. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
