The aim of this study was to immobilize the redox enzyme laccase over TiO2-SiO2-Au thin film coated ITO glass substrates in order to prepare electrochemically active surfaces for biosensor applications. Colloidal TiO2-SiO2-Au solution was synthesized by sol-gel route and thin film was deposited onto the substrates by dipcoating method. The cysteamine was utilized as a linker for immobilization of enzyme covalently through gold active sites. Preliminary studies were conducted by using invertase as model enzyme and Pyrex glasses as substrates. The effect of immobilization parameters such as immobilization temperature, concentration of enzyme deposition solution, immobilization time for laccase were examined. Leakage studies were conducted and storage stability of immobilized laccase was determined. Highest laccase activity was achieved when immobilization was performed with 50 µg/ml solution at 4°C for 2 hours. Laccase activity decreased after 4 hours of impregnation in enzyme solution. Laccase leakage was observed in the first usage of substrates and 55% activity decrease was determined in the subsequent use which might be attributed to the presence of uncovalently adsorbed enzyme on the fresh samples. In air and in buffer storage stabilities were also tested. It was found that the activity of samples almost vanished after 6 days regardless of storage conditions. Both enzymes had more activity on ITO substrate.

Enzyme immobilization on titania-silica-gold thin films for biosensor applications and photocatalytic enzyme removal for surface patterning Çınar, Merve; Bakır, Ufuk; Department of Chemical Engineering (2009) The aim of this study was to investigate the viability of patterning by immobilization, photocatalytic removal, and re-immobilization steps of the enzyme on photocatalytically active thin films for biosensor fabrication purposes. For this aim, TiO2-SiO2-Au sol-gel colloids were synthesized and deposited on glass substrates as thin films by dip coating. Cysteamine linker was assembled on gold nanoparticles to functionalize thin films with amine groups for immobilization of model enzyme invertase. Effect of i...
Preparation and characterization of cost effective spray pyrolyzed absorber layer for thin film solar cells Sankir, Nurdan D.; Aydin, Erkan; Unver, Hulya; Uluer, Ezgi; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-01) In this study, highly (1 1 2) oriented crystalline copper indium disulfide (CuInS2) thin films with high mobility have been deposited via ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Structural and electrical properties of CuInS2 thin films were examined to utilize them in solar cell applications. Various amounts of precursor solution ranging from 0.25 to 2.02 ml/cm(2) were used to form CuInS2 thin films onto the soda lime glass substrates. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that all sprayed films were pin...
Structural and mechanical investigations of magnesium and fluoride doped nano calcium phosphates Sun, Zehra Pınar; Evis, Zafer; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2009) The aim of this study was to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of pure and Mg2+ and F- doped nano-calcium phosphate (CaP) powders, which were synthesized by precipitation method. After the drying and calcination processes, the samples were sintered at 1100ºC for 1 hour. High densities were achieved except for the 7.5 % mole Mg doped samples. Microstructure of the CaPs were investigated by X- ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Mi...
Preparation and characterization of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene and polyisoprene solvent-cast blend films Akinay, AE; Tincer, T (Wiley, 1998-02-28) This study covers the preparation of noncrosslinked and crosslinked solvent-cast blend films of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and polyisoprene rubber (PIR) and their mechanical, thermal, IR spectroscopic, and morphological characterizations. Solvent-cast films of polymer blends with 0, 10, 20, 35, 50, and 65% PIR composition were prepared by vigorous stirring from a hot decalin solution. The films were crosslinked chemically by using acetophenone as a crosslinking agent under UV radiation...
Preparation of Chitosan-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles and Application for Immobilization of Laccase Kalkan, Nuzhet Ayca; AKSOY, SERPİL; Aksoy, Eda Ayse; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2012-01-15) In this study, immobilization of laccase (L) enzyme on magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles was achieved, so that the immobilized enzyme could be used repeatedly. For this purpose, Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles were coated and functionalized with chitosan (CS) and laccase from Trametes versicolor was immobilized onto chitosan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe(3)O(4)-CS) by adsorption or covalent binding after activating the hydroxyl groups of chitosan with carbodiimide (EDAC) or cyanuric chloride (CC). For chitosa...
