Electrochemical biosensors are cost effective, fast and portable devices, which can determine the existence and amounts of chemicals in a specific medium. These devices have many potential applications in many fields such as determination of diseases, process and product control, environmental monitoring, and drug research. To realize these potentials of the devices, many studies are being carried out to increase their sensitivity, selectivity and long term stabilities. Surface modification studies with various types of particles (metal nano particles, carbon nano tubes etc.) can be count among these studies. Although zeolites and zeo-type materials are investigated for many years, they still hold interest on them due to their capabilities. By means of their chemical resistances, large surface areas, tailorable surface properties, and porous structures they can be applied in many applicational fields. In some recent studies, these properties are intended to be used in the field of biosensors. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of zeolite nanoparticles on electrochemical biosensor performances. Firstly, several different procedures were investigated in order to find the best and optimum methodology to attach previously synthesized zeolites on Si wafer substrates for the first time. For this purpose, the ultrasonication, spin coating and direct attachment methods were used and their efficiencies were compared. Perfectly oriented, fully covering, zeolite monolayers are produced by direct attachment method. Successively produced zeolite thin films were then patterned with the help of Electron Beam Lithography technique to show the compatibility of coating methods to the CMOS technology. Combination of Direct Attachment and EBL techniques resulted well controlled zeolite monolayer patterns. Then zeolite modified electrochemical biosensors were tested for their performances. With these experiments it was intended to improve the selectivity, sensitivity and storage stabilities of standard electrochemical biosensors. Experiments, conducted with different types of zeolites, showed that zeolites have various effects on the performances of electrochemical biosensors. Amperometric biosensor response magnitudes have been doubled with the addition of Silicalites. Faster conductometric electrode responses were achieved with enzyme immobilization on zeolite film technique. Also it is seen that Beta type zeolites modified through different ion exchange procedures, resulted different responses in IS-FET measurements.

Production and characterization of boron nitride nanotubes
Özmen, Didem; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Department of Chemical Engineering (2008)
The further developments in nanotechnology in last few years provide usage of nanoscale particles for many applications in various areas such as electronics, pharmaceutical, and biomedical due to their strengthened mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. Boron nitride nanotubes are a good example of nanoparticles. In this study, boron nitride nanotubes were successfully synthesized from the reaction of ammonia gas with mixture of boron and iron oxide. Physical and structural properties of the synthes...
Synthesis and characterization of titanosilicate ets-10 for potential photovoltaic applications
Galioğlu, Sezin; Akata Kurç, Burcu; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2010)
Different kinds of nanoparticles are widely used in optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications to harvest light to increase efficiency of devices. ETS-10, which is a synthetic microporous material consisting of –Ti-O-Ti-O-Ti- wires that run in the crystal in a and b directions, has been of interest in such applications due to its unique properties. In the current study, the synthesis conditions of ETS-10 were investigated in order to obtain pure ETS-10 crystals with the desired morphology. For this purpos...
Preparation and performance of membrane electrode assemblies with nafion and alternative polymer electrolyte membranes
Şengül, Erce; Eroğlu, İnci; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007)
Hydrogen and oxygen or air polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is one of the most promising electrical energy conversion devices for a sustainable future due to its high efficiency and zero emission. Membrane electrode assembly (MEA), in which electrochemical reactions occur, is stated to be the heart of the fuel cell. The aim of this study was to develop methods for preparation of MEA with alternative polymer electrolyte membranes and compare their performances with the conventional Nafion® membrane. Th...
Production of recombinant proteins by yeast cells
Celik, Eda; Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 2012-09-01)
Yeasts are widely used in production of recombinant proteins of medical or industrial interest. For each individual product, the most suitable expression system has to be identified and optimized, both on the genetic and fermentative level, by taking into account the properties of the product, the organism and the expression cassette. There is a wide range of important yeast expression hosts including the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, Hansenula polymorpha, Kluyveromyces lactis, Schizosa...
Material characterization with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy
Köseoğlu, Devrim; Bilikmen, Kadri Sinan; Department of Physics (2010)
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy systems were developed and used for the anaylsis and characterization of various materials. By using ultra-fast Ti:Sapphire and Er-doped fiber lasers, terahertz time-domain spectrometers of different configurations were constructed and tested. To increase the accuracy and sensitivity of the measurements, the systems were optimized for spectroscopic analysis. MBE grown nominally undoped epitaxial GaAs samples were used for the spectroscopic measurements. These samples were ...
