In this study, poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), P(HEMA), particles were prepared by suspension polymerization of the monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate with addition of ethylene glycol dimethyacrylate, EGDMA, as cross linker. Glucose isomerase, GI, enzyme was covalently immobilized on the prepared P(HEMA) particles after activation of the particles with cyanuric chloride. The activities of the free and immobilized enzymes were measured with Ethanol-Carbazole method. The immobilization of GI on P(HEMA) particles promoted enzyme stability and as a result, the enzyme became more stable to temperature, storage, and reuse. For maximum substrate conversion, optimum temperature was determined as 70 oC for free GI and this value shifted to 60 oC for immobilized enzyme. Optimum pH for maximum substrate conversion was found to be 7.0 for free GI and 8.0 for immobilized GI. The change of enzyme activity with substrate concentration were determined to calculate Km and Vmax values of the free and immobilized enzymes. Km values were found to be 1.7x10-2 mol/L and 3.1x10-1 mol/L while Vmax values were 1.01x10-4 mol/L.min, 1.65x10-3 mol/L.min for free and immobilized GI, respectively. Reuse capability of immobilized GI on P(HEMA) particles was measured and compared with commercial GI. Both systems retained 80 % of their original activities after 40th use, within 6 days. The change of enzyme activities upon storage were detected at certain time intervals for the samples stored in buffer solution at 4 oC. Immobilized enzyme was retained 60% of its original activitiy in 60 days of storage at 4 oC. Immobilized GI and commercial GI both retained 90% of their activities under continuous flow after 180 mL of substrate solution passed through the column.

Immobiliation of glucose oxidase and polyphenol oxidase in conducting copolymer of pyrrole functionalized polystyrene with pyrrole Ekinci, Olçun; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2006) Electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole functionalized polystyrene (PStPy) with pyrrole was carried out in water-sodium dodecyl sulfate solvent-electrolyte couple. Characterization of the resulting copolymer was performed via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and four probe conductivity measurements. Glucose oxidase and polyphenol oxidase enzymes were immobilized in polypyrrole (PPy) and conducting copolymer of pyrrole functionalized polystyrene with pyrrol...
Syntheses of benzotriazole bearing donor acceptor type random copolymers for full visible light absorption Öktem, Gözde; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2011) The synthesis and preliminary optoelectronic properties of a series of donor-acceptor (DA) type polymers differing by the acceptor units in the polymer backbone were investigated. Polymers CoP1, CoP2 and CoP3 were designed to yield alternating DA segments with randomly distributed different acceptor units along polymer backbone. The combination of neutral state red colored and neutral state green colored materials resulted in different neutral state colors with respect to their additional acceptor unit. 5,8...
Conductive and electrochromic properties of poly(p-phenylene vinylene) Öztürk, Tuğba; Küçükyavuz, Zuhal; Department of Chemistry (2005) P-xylene-bis(diethylsulphonium chloride) (PXBDC) monomer was synthesized by the reaction of a,a-dichloro-p-xylene with tetrahydrothiophene or diethyl sulphide. Electrochemical behavior of this monomer (PXBDC) was examined by cyclic voltametry. Polymerization was achieved both by using electrochemical and chemical polymerization techniques. In the electrochemical technique, PPV was synthesized by constant potential electrolysis in acetonitrile-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBAFB) solvent-electrolyte ...
Biosensor based on interpenetrated polymer network of alginic acid and poly(1-vinylimidazole ) Kartal, Müjgan; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2008) A new proton conductor polymer was prepared using alginic acid (AA) and poly (1-vinylimidazole) (PVI). The polymer network was obtained by mixing AA and PVI at various stoichiometric ratios, x (molar ratio of the monomer repeat units). The AA/PVI network was characterized by elemental analysis (EA) and FT-IR spectroscopy. Potential use of this network in enzyme immobilization was studied. Enzyme entrapped polymer networks (EEPN) were produced by immobilizing invertase and tyrosinase (PPO) in the AA/PVI netw...
Graft copolymerization of p-acryloyloxybenzoic acid onto high density polyrtylene Çağırıcı, Seda; Tinçer, Teoman; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2006) The monomer, p-acryloyloxybenzoic acid (ABA) was synthesized by condensation reaction of acryloyl chloride and p-hydroxybenzoic acid in alkaline medium. Polymerization of the monomer and grafting of the produced polymer (PABA) onto high density polyethylene (HDPE) were expected to be carried simultaneously in melt mixing at high temperature. The graft copolymerization was studied at varying concentrations of the monomer in the reaction mixture at constant temperature (200 0C). Grafted HDPE samples were inve...
