In this study, Zn doped hydroxyapatite (Zn HA)/boron nitride nanofiber (BNNF)/poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) composite aligned fibrous scaffolds are produced with rotary jet spinning (RJS) for bone tissue engineering applications. It is hypothesized that addition of Zn HA and BNNF will contribute to cell viability as well as mechanical and osteogenic properties of the PCL scaffolds. Zn HA was synthesized by mixing Ca and P sources followed by sonication and aging whereas BNNF was obtained by the reaction of melamine with boric acid followed by freeze-drying for annealing of fibers. It is found that incorporation of both Zn HA and BNNF in PCL fibers resulted in higher calcium phosphate (CaP) precipitation on the scaffolds. Also, in vitro cell culture studies showed that presence of both Zn HA and BNNF also had synergistic effect for enhanced proliferation and osteogenic activity of Saos-2 cells. Mechanical properties of PCL-Zn HA-BNNF were found similar to that of non-load bearing bones. Furthermore, the presence of Zn HA and BNNF had synergistic effects to cell attachment, proliferation and spreading without causing cytotoxic effect on cells. The highest ALP activity was obtained in the PCL-Zn HA- BNNF group at days 7 and 14 due to release of zinc, calcium, phosphate and boron. Considering its mechanical and bioactivity properties, PCL-Zn HA-BNNF composite scaffolds hold promise as non-load bearing bone substitutes.

Silicate-doped nano-hydroxyapatite/graphene oxide composite reinforced fibrous scaffolds for bone tissue engineering Dalgıç, Ali Deniz; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer (SAGE Publications, 2018-3-15) In this study, novel graphene oxide-incorporated silicate-doped nano-hydroxyapatite composites were prepared and their potential use for bone tissue engineering was investigated by developing an electrospun poly(epsilon-caprolactone) scaffold. Nanocomposite groups were synthesized to have two different ratios of graphene oxide (2 and 4 wt%) to evaluate the effect of graphene oxide incorporation and groups with different silicate-doped nano-hydroxyapatite content was prepared to investigate optimum concentra...
Boron doped hydroxyapatites in biomedical applications Uysal, İdil; Yılmaz, Bengi; Evis, Zafer (2020-12-01) Hydroxyapatite has been widely used in biomedical applications as a coatingmaterial for implant surfaces, a drug carrier, a scaffold or composite for bonetissue engineering applications. The highly ionic structure of hydroxyapatite allowsdoping of various ions, resulting in an improvement in its properties. Boron is oneof the elements which can be doped into hydroxyapatite structure by replacingphosphate (PO43-) or hydroxyl (OH-) sites to obtain scaffolds for bone tissueengineering applications or a coating...
3D porous bioceramic based boron-doped hydroxyapatite/baghdadite composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering Jodati, Hossein; Evis, Zafer; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Alshemary, Ammar Z.; Motameni, Ali (2023-04-01) Making composite scaffolds is one of the well-known methods to improve the properties of scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering. In this study, novel ceramic-based 3D porous composite scaffolds were successfully prepared using boron-doped hydroxyapatite, as the primary component, and baghdadite, as the secondary component. The effects of making composites on the properties of boron-doped hydroxyapatite-based scaffolds were investigated in terms of physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties. T...
Boron nitride/zinc doped hydroxyapatite/polycaprolactone composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering Turhan, Emine Ayşe; Evis, Zafer; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2021-3) Bone diseases and disorders have been expected to increase mostly in time because of the aging, obesity and pysical activity problems. For this reason, bone tissue engineering has been focus point to design new biocompatible scaffolds and enhance bone tissue regeneration. Composite scaffolds composed of PCL, Zn doped hydoxyapatite (HA), and boron nitride nanofibers (BNNFs) were prepared by the rotary jet spinning for bone tissue engineering applications. Synthesis of BNNFs and Zn-HA was achieved by the free...
Boron-doped Biphasic Hydroxyapatite/beta-Tricalcium Phosphate for Bone Tissue Engineering Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-06-10) Boron-doped hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphates (BHTs) were synthesized to study boron uptake and correlate structural alterations of incremental boron addition (0 to 10 mol%). BHTs with a Ca/P ratio of 1.6 were prepared by a wet precipitation/microwave reflux method, sieved (< 70 mu m) and characterized. XRD and FTIR analyses revealed that boron slightly distorted apatite crystal, increased crystallinity (95.78 +/- 2.08% for 5BHT) and crystallite size (103.39 +/- 23.47 nm for 5BHT) and still, boron additi...
