Article Citation - Scopus: 3The Surface Charge of Unsupported Nano-Structured Titania Ceramic Membrane Top Layers With Varying Calcination Temperatures(University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy journal@uctm.edu, 2019) Erdem, İlker; Çiftçiog̀lu, MuhsinTitania is one of the most preferable ceramic membrane materials of superior durability (as zirconia) when compared to that of other ceramics, e.g. alumina or silica. The surface charge of the membrane top layer is an important parameter of the separation performance of the multilayer ceramic membrane due to the Donnan exclusion mechanisms. In this study, the change of the surface charge of unsupported nano-structured titania top layer is investigated with calcination temperature variation. The effect observed indicates the possibility of preparation of tailor-made top layers for multilayer ceramic membranes. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.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.
