In this study, boron-doped hydroxyapatite (BHT)-loaded alginate/gelatin-based (A/G) hydrogel coating on Ti was fabricated to support bone integration through triggering osteoinduction, vascularization and immunomodulation. Initially, highly reproducible, cheap and time-effective BHT was produced, which significantly promoted higher osteogenic and angiogenic maturation, while a mild innate immune response was observed. The immense potential of BHT was evidenced by the production of a gap-filling A/G/BHT interphase on Ti implants to mimic the osseous extracellular matrix to achieve functional bridging and exert control over the course of innate immune response. We initially aminosilanized the implant surface using 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane, and then coated it with 0.25% w/v alginate with 20 mM 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide to allow the A/G/BHT pre-gel to disperse evenly and covalently attach on the surface. The pre-gel was added with 0.2 M NaCl to homogeneously blend BHT in the structure without inducing ionic crosslinking. Then, the coated implants were freeze-dried and stored. The coated layer demonstrated high cohesive and adhesive strength, and 8-month-long shelf-life at room temperature and normal humidity. The A/G/BHT was able to coat an irregularly shaped Ti implant. Osteoblasts and endothelial cells thrived on the A/G/BHT, and it demonstrated greatly improved osteogenic and angiogenic capacity. Moreover, A/G/BHT maintained macrophage viability and generated an acute increase in immune response that could be resolved rapidly. Finally, A/G/BHT was shown to induce the robust integration of implant in a rabbit femur osteochondral model within 2 months. Therefore, we concluded that A/G/BHT coatings could serve as a multifunctional reservoir, promoting the strong and rapid osseointegration of metallic implants.

This study focused on modifying the alkyl‐end‐group of benzotriazole and thiophene containing conjugated polymers. Introducing a moiety with struc‐turally rigid and tendency to enhance the π‐π stacking and also absorption in the high energetic region, influence the both electronic and optic properties of the conjugated polymers. Stille cross coupling chemical polymerization method was performed to synthesize the polymer contains: benzotriazole and bisthiophene. Characterizations of polymers were done in ter...
Flame retardancy effects of zinc borate and nanoclay in ABS, and boron compounds in PET
Özkaraca, Ayşe Çağıl; Kaynak, Cevdet; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2011)
In this thesis there were two main purposes, the first one being to investigate effects of zinc borate (ZB) on the flammability behavior of ABS when used with and without a traditional brominated flame retardant (BFR) / antimony trioxide (AO) system. The second purpose was to investigate contribution of nanoclays (NC) to the flame retardancy performance of the same traditional BFR compound with various combinations of AO and ZB again in ABS matrix. For these purposes, materials were melt compounded by using...
Pt-incorporated anatase TiO2(001) surface for solar cell applications: First-principles density functional theory calculations
METE, ERSEN; Üner, Deniz; GÜLSEREN, Oğuz; ELLİALTIOĞLU, SÜLEYMAN ŞİNASİ (2009-03-01)
First-principles density functional theory calculations were carried out to determine the low energy geometries of anatase TiO2(001) with Pt implants in the sublayers as substitutional and interstitial impurities as well as on the surface in the form of adsorbates. We investigated the effect of such a systematic Pt incorporation in the electronic structure of this surface for isolated and interacting impurities with an emphasis on the reduction in the band gap to visible region. Comprehensive calculations, ...
Alkyl-end phenanthroimidazole modification of benzotriazole based conjugated polymers for optoelectronic applications
Cevher, Şevki Can; Keles, Duygu; Hızalan, Gonul; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (2018-10-01)
A new triazoloquinoxaline and benzodithiophene based copolymer was synthesized to investigate its electrochemical, optical and photovoltaic behaviors. According to the polymer design, combination of two acceptor units (benzotriazole and quinoxaline) which contribute imine bonds to the structure and a triazoloquinoxaline unit for enhancing electron accepting ability was pursued. As a result of electrochemical studies, the copolymer PTQBDT has a low lying HOMO energy level as −5.23 eV which increases the chem...
Immobilized Polyoxomolybdate Nanoclusters on Functionalized SBA-15: Green Access to Efficient and Recyclable Nanocatalyst for the Epoxidation of Alkenes

A heterogeneous nanocatalyst containing polyoxomolybdate immobilized on the internal surface of amino-functionalized SBA-15 pores was prepared and fully characterized by several analytical techniques. The textural property of supported material was found to retain important mesoporous features, compatible with its potential use as heterogeneous catalysts. The catalyst SBA-15-NH3+center dot{Mo-36}(-)shows excellent catalytic activity for the epoxidation of alkenes as compared to POM, which is attributed to t...
