Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13On 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 AlperIn 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.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Extract Incorporated Electrospun Poly(Lactic Acid)/ Gelatin Membrane as a New Wound Dressing(Elsevier, 2025-08) Tarhan, Seray Zora; Pepe, Nihan Aktas; Sen, Alaattin; Isoglu, Ismail AlperIn this study, we fabricated poly(lactic acid)/gelatin electrospun membranes containing various concentrations of Cinnamomum zeylanicum extract and evaluated them as a novel wound dressing. The electrospun membranes were chemically, morphologically, and mechanically characterized, and the results were discussed in comparison with the literature. Electrospun membranes' biodegradability, swelling, and release properties were evaluated, with the CE7.5 membrane having values of 29.60 f 7.20 and 542.1 f 48.3 % and 66.9 %, respectively. Antibacterial activity was observed in CE7.5 and CE10 membranes against E. coli and S. aureus strains. At the highest concentration (CE10), 111.7 f 5.6 % and 96 f 12.375 % cell viability were detected in fibroblasts and differentiated LPS-induced THP-1 cells. Cell viability was further evaluated by Annexin-V/PI staining, revealing that 97.95 f 1.63 % of the cells remained viable in the CE7.5-treated membranes, while only 1.85 f 1.49 % of necrotic cells were detected in the treated cell population. Fibroblasts treated with the CE7.5 membrane showed a 42 % improvement in wound closure compared to non-treated cells. The anti-inflammatory properties of the electrospun membranes were also investigated. Treatment with the conditioned CE7.5 membrane downregulated Tba1 and tau proteins by 45.1 and 51.055 %, respectively. This study concluded that the newly developed Cinnamomum zeylanicum extract incorporated poly(lactic acid)/gelatin electrospun membranes could be a promising wound dressing material.
