Solid phase microextraction (SPME) is one of the essential tools present in the analytical toolbox integrating the sampling and sample preparation into a single step. Because of this unique feature, SPME is distinct among other technologies as a tool suitable for in-vivo, on-site, and in-vitro applications. Up to date, a plethora of extractive phases suitable for targeted and untargeted studies have been developed for SPME. However, usually, they are only suitable for solvent or thermal desorption followed by liquid/gas chromatographic separation. This limits the applicability of the device for untargeted analysis where a system-representative chemical snapshot is needed. Therefore, the development of extractive tools and methods that can be used both with solvent and thermal desorption, providing wide-range analyte coverage is of great importance. In this study, hydrophilic-lipophilic balanced particles providing wide-range analyte coverage were immobilized in the polyfluorinated amorphous polymer (PTFE-AF 2400) to have SPME devices that are biocompatible, with sufficient solvent and thermal stability. SPME devices with different geometries were prepared, optimized, and used in two different applications. The first type of device was a miniaturized SPME probe that is suitable for metabolomic, and pharmacokinetic profiling in cell cultures, and tissues where a spatial resolution of chemical information is crucial. It was shown that the developed SPME-LC-MS method using HLB/PTFE AF microprobes, enables the extraction of wide range of molecules (Log P varies between -4.2 and 15.6) with acceptable method accuracy and repeatability. The second type of device was thin film SPME, capable of more sensitive analysis due to its larger surface area and on-site sampling. Using these thin film devices, a TFME-GC-MS method was developed for the determination of pesticides in apple juice. The developed TFME-GC-MS method is accurate and repeatable for the determination selected pesticides (except trifluralin at high-point concentration, 300.0 ng/mL). Preliminary studies also had shown that samplers are suitable for on-site sampling.

DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERFEROMETRIC TECHNIQUE TO BE USED IN MEASURING MICRON LEVEL CLEARANCES FILLED WITH A LUBRICANT Yildirim, Murat; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba (2009-10-21) The aim of this study is to develop an interferometric technique to measure micron level clearances occurring in small piston-cylinder arrangements; such as hermetically sealed compressors. A Cartesian model of the piston cylinder arrangement is manufactured and lateral and vertical motions are generated via a step motor, and micrometers, respectively, to simulate the piston motion and the change of clearance during the motion. Experiments are conducted in air and a lubricant. Measurements show the importan...
Fabrication of a Novel Polymeric Scaffold for Amperometric Laccase Biosensor Soylemez, Saniye; Bekmezci, Aybüke; Göker, Seza; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 2019-11-14) Present work displays the preparation of an electrochemical biosensor using a conjugated polymer and laccase enzyme for catechol quantification in samples. The biosensing system is based on an enzyme immobilization on polymer modified graphite transducer surface. For that purpose, a random conjugated polymer, thienothiophene-benzoxadiazole-alt-benzodithiophene (BOTT), was coated onto a graphite electrode surface via drop casting method followed by immobilization of a biomolecule (laccase) for sensing experi...
Creating tougher interfaces via suture morphology in 3D-printed multi-material polymer composites by fused filament fabrication Altuntas, Umut; Çöker, Demirkan; Yavas, Denizhan (2023-01-05) This study presents a facile strategy for architecting the interface morphology to create tougher and stronger interfaces in additively manufactured multi-material polymer composites. A sutural interfacial morphology between two dissimilar polymer phases PLA (hard) and TPU (soft) is designed and fabricated by the fused filament fabrication technique. The proposed strategy utilizes one of the process parameters (i.e., overlap distance) to create sutural interfaces with soft protrusions. The microscopic inspe...
Development of Non-Invasive and Biocompatible Thin Film Micro-Extraction Contact Lens Type Devices Compatible for In Vivo Metabolomics Investigations from Eye Surface Nalbant, Atakan Arda; Boyacı, Ezel (2019-09-01) Solid phase microextraction (SPME), is a sampling and samp- le preparation technique in which the extraction of analytes is based on an equilibrium established between a sample and ext- ractive phase coated on a tip of a fiber. Thin film microextraction (TFME) which is a type of SPME provides high analytical sen- sitivity in environmental and biological samples and has gained interest in areas where no other technique can provide solutions. In this study, the aim was to develop biocompatible and flexib-...
In vivo solid phase microextraction sampling of human saliva for non-invasive and on-site monitoring Bessonneau, Vincent; Boyacı, Ezel; Maciazek-Jurczyk, Malgorzata; Pawliszyn, Janusz (2015-01-26) On-site sample preparation is an analytical approach based on direct sampling from the system under investigation. It has the advantage of combining sampling and sample preparation into a single step, thus generally is fast, minimizes the potential sources of error and eliminates the risks for analytes instability. For such analysis solid phase microextraction in thin film geometry (TF-SPME) can provide robust and convenient in vivo sampling, offering in the same time faster analysis and higher extraction r...
