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 Citation - Scopus: 1Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Composites With Nanoclays and Boric Acid: Thermal and Mechanical Properties(Turkish Energy, Nuclear and Mining Research Agency, 2025-04-01) Erdem, İlker; Kapçı, Mehmet Fazıl; Avcı, ŞeymaPolimerler pek çok uygulamada kullanılmaktadırlar fakat yanabilir olmaları sorun teşkil etmektedir. Polimerlere yanma dayanımı seramikler gibi (oksitler, hidroksitler, killer, vb.) inorganik malzemeler kullanılarak kazandırılabilir. Bu katkıların ilavesi polimer-inorganik kompozitlerin mekanik özelliklerini de değiştirebilir ki kompozit hazırlamada bu da dikkate alınmalıdır. Bu çalışmada etil vinil asetata (EVA) iki faklı nano-kil (ağırlıkça 20/100 oranına kadar) ve borik asit eklenerek polimerin yanmasında olası gecikme araştırılmıştır. Nano-kil ve BA ilavesinin etkisini belirlemek için saf polimer ve polimer-inorganik kompozitler için mekanik özellikler de belirlenmiştir. Hazırlanan nanokompozitlerin kimyasal yapıları (FT-IR, XRD), ısıl özellikleri (TGA), mekanik özellikleri (çekme testi) ve yanma davranışları değerlendirilmiştir. En yüksek nano-kil içeriğine sahip NC 1.4 örneği en uzun sürede yanmıştır. NC 2 örneğinin diğer örneklerden daha yüksek gerilim dayanımına ve Young katsayısına sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Nano-killerdeki organik yüzey dönüştürücüler ve BA ilavesi nano-kil/EVA kompozitlerinin ısıl ve mekanik özellikleri üzerinde etkili olmuştur.Article Citation - Scopus: 13Paclitaxel-Loaded Polycaprolactone Nanoparticles for Lung Tumors: Formulation, Comprehensive In Vitro Characterization, and Release Kinetic Studies(University of Ankara, 2022-09-29) Ünal, Sedat; Dogan, Osman Talha; Aktaş, YeşimObjective: Today, cancer is still among the most common chronic diseases. 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.
