    Tuning Mechanical Performance of PCL Scaffolds: Influence of 3D Bioprinting Parameters, Polymer Concentration, and Solvent Selection
    (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2025-09-01) Ceylan, Saniye Aylin; Baltacioglu, Mehmet Furkan; Bal, Burak; Bayram, Ferdi Caner; Isoglu, Ismail Alper
    The mechanical performance of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted scaffolds is susceptible to printing parameters and material formulation. In this study, poly (epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds were fabricated using four different polymer concentrations (10%, 25%, 50%, and 75% w/v) to investigate how these variations, along with process parameters, influence mechanical behavior. Maintaining the structural integrity of bioprinted constructs requires careful optimization of polymer concentration and precise control over parameters such as printing speed, pressure, and infill density. Tensile tests were conducted to evaluate the effects of these variables. Among the tested conditions, a 50% (w/v) concentration allowed for a broader operational window, enabling fabrication across a range of printing speeds and pressures. At a printing speed of 5 mm s-1, PCL-DCM exhibited a Young's modulus of 39.0 MPa, while PCL-CF samples printed at 10 mm s-1 achieved the highest modulus of 32.0 MPa. Notably, when the printing speed was kept constant, applying higher pressures led to an increase in Young's modulus, suggesting that pressure plays a key role in enhancing scaffold stiffness. When comparing the 50% and 75% (w/v) polymer concentrations, the 50% (w/v) formulation stood out by offering both higher elongation and greater stiffness, which makes it particularly suitable for load-bearing applications. These findings provide a quantitative framework for optimizing extrusion-based bioprinting of PCL scaffolds, with implications for customized biomedical implants and regenerative medicine.

    Preparation of Antibacterial Electrospun Poly(D, L-Lactide-co-Glycolide)/Gelatin Blend Membranes Containing Hypericum Capitatum Var. Capitatum
    (Taylor & Francis As, 2020-05-18) Aksit, Nazende Nur; Gurdap, Seda; Isoglu, Sevil Dincer; Isoglu, Ismail Alper
    In this study, we fabricated poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide)/gelatin (PLGA/gelatin) membranes containing different amounts of Hypericum capitatum var. capitatum (HCC) extract (1, 5, 7.5, 10 wt%) by electrospinning technique. We investigated chemical, morphological, physical, and mechanical properties as well as in vitro degradation behavior of the electrospun membranes. We also evaluated the antibacterial activity of the electrospun membranes against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Viability, adhesion, and attachment of human fibroblast cells on the electrospun membranes on pre-set days were evaluated by the colorimetric CellTiter 96(R) AQueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay (MTS assay), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and 4',6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole (DAPI) staining.

    On the Detailed Mechanical Response Investigation of PHBV/PCL and PHBV/PLGA Electrospun Mats
    (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2019-03-29) Bal, Burak; Tugluca, Ibrahim Burkay; Koc, Nuray; Isoglu, Ismail Alper
    In this study, electrospun mats of pristine poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), Poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), as well as PHBV/PCL blends and PHBV/PLGA blends in different ratios (80:20, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 20:80, 10:90, 5:95%, w/w) and Centella Asiatica (CA) loaded (1, 5, 10%, w/v) PHBV/PCL and PHBV/PLGA polyester blends were prepared. Electrospun mats were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in order to show uniform and bead and defect-free fiber structure with average diameter. The blend ratio and strain rate dependencies of mechanical behavior of these electrospun membranes were investigated under tensile loading. The tensile tests were conducted at an initial strain rates of 10(-1) s(-1), 10(-2) s(-1), 10(-3) s(-1) and 10(-4) s(-1) at room temperature and the best and worst combinations of PHBV/PLGA, PHBV/PCL blend ratios for both stress and ductility required applications were specified for each strain rate. The effects of blend ratios on the tensile strength and Young's modulus were also investigated. Moreover, the effects of Centella Asiatica on the electrospun membranes' mechanical behavior were demonstrated at different strain rates. Consequently, this study constitutes an important guideline for the selection and usage of the aforementioned electrospun membranes as a wound dressing material in terms of mechanical response at different loading scenarios.

    Advances in Micelle-Based Drug Delivery: Cross-Linked Systems
    (Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2017-04-04) Isoglu, Ismail Alper; Ozsoy, Yildiz; Isoglu, Sevil Dincer
    There are several barriers that drug molecules encounter in body beginning from kidney filtration and reticulo-endothelial system (RES) clearance to cellular trafficking. Multifunctional nanocarriers have a great potential for the delivery of drugs by enhancing therapeutic activity of existing methodologies. A variety of nanocarriers are constructed by different material types, which have unique physicochemical properties for drug delivery applications. Micelles formed by amphiphilic polymers are one of the most important drug/nanocarrier formulation products, in which the core part is suitable for encapsulation of hydrophobic agent whereas the outer shell can be utilized for targeting the drug to the disease area. Micelles as self-assembled nanostructures may encounter difficulties in biodistribution of encapsulated drugs because they have a tendency to be dissociated in dilution or high ionic strength. Therefore, therapeutic efficiency is decreased and it requires high amount of drug to be administered to achieve more efficient result. To overcome this problem, covalently stabilized structures produced by cross-linking in core or shell part, which can prevent the micelle dissociation and regulate drug release, have been proposed. These systems can be designed as responsive systems in which cross-links are degradable or hydrolysable under specific conditions such as low pH or reductive environment. These are enhancing characteristics in drug delivery because their cleavage allows the release of bioactive agent encapsulated in the carrier at a certain site or time. This review describes the chemical methodologies for the preparation of cross-linked micelles, and reports an update of latest studies in literature.
