The constitutive studies of this thesis were achieved and presented in three parts. In the first part, the effects of solid state synthesis process parameters and the impurity content of primary calcium precursor on the cement-type hydration efficiency for the conversion of α-tricalcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2 or α-TCP) into hydroxyapatite (Ca10-xHPO4(PO4)6-x(OH)2-x x = 0–1, or HAp) have been investigated (at 37°C). α-TCP was synthesized by thermal processing of stoichiometric amounts of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and monetite (CaHPO4) at 1150–1350°C for 2 h. Three commercial grade CaCO3 powders of different purity were used as starting materials for the synthesis process and the resultant α-TCP products for all synthesis routes were compared in terms of the material properties and their reactivities. In the second part of the studies, α-TCP and chitosan fiber (CF) composites were prepared as injectable bone cement systems which have a potential to degrade in time to be replaced by the natural bone tissue. α-TCP/CF composites were prepared in different compositions and the effect of CF addition on cement properties were examined by mechanical and injectability tests as well as microstructural and phase analysis studies. In the third part of the studies, metal chelating property of CFs was used on development of controlled zinc release systems that can be applied in local zinc deficiency therapies of bone tissue. For this purpose, CF scaffolds were prepared by wet-spinning technique and appropriate amount of zinc was loaded to these scaffolds in regard to the zinc content of a healthy human bone tissue. Zinc release studies were performed on calcium phosphate (CaP) covered and non-covered CF scaffolds and zinc ion concentrations of the release solutions were determined by ICP-MS.

Enhancing electrochemical and electrochromic performances of carbazole comprising monomer via copolymerization with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) Kalay, Isil; Yigit, Deniz; GÜLLÜ, Mustafa; DEPCİ, TOLGA; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacioglu, Serife O. (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01) In this study, two novel electrochromic copolymers (CoP1.3 and CoP1.5) were synthesized via electrochemical methods and characterized. The comonomers used in the synthesis were 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and a carbazole comprising monomer; 9-(2-(4-(Phenyldiazenyl) phenoxy) ethyl)-3,6-di(thiophen-2-yl)-9H-carbazole (M1). Carbazole containing monomer (M1) and EDOT were combined with two different comonomer feed ratios, 1: 3 and 1: 5 respectively in order to investigate the effect of increasing EDOT amo...
Investigation of the electromagnetic properties of single walled carbon nanotube thin films Küçükyıldız, Şeyda; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2013) The work presented in this thesis can be divided in two parts. First part discusses the dispersion and deposition routes of single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) thin films. Two different types of SWNTs and several dispersing agents were examined to achieve a homogeneous SWNT solution. A tip-sonicator and an ultrasonic bath was compared and it has been found that tip-sonicator increases the efficiency of SWNT dispersions. Vacuum filtration and spray coating techniques were utilized for the deposition of SWNT...
Evaluating an Immersive Virtual Learning Environment for Learning How to Design in Human-Scale Sonmez, Orkun; Sorguç, Arzu (2018-01-01) This paper presents a part of a thesis research conducted at METU. It proposes a method for evaluating the effects of an immersive virtual learning environment (IVLE) which is integrated in an architectural design/learning activity. Proposed IVLE application and design/learning activity were designed through a synthesis on constructive learning, problem-based learning, immersive technologies, and intended learning outcomes (ILOs) in learning how to design in human-scale. Immersive experience of bodily inter...
Influences of halloysite nanotubes on crystallisation behaviour of polylactide Kaygusuz, I.; Kaynak, Cevdet (2015-03-01) The aim of this study was to investigate influences of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) on the (i) isothermal and (ii) non-isothermal crystallisation kinetics of polylactide (PLA) by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses, and (iii) crystallinity of injection moulded and then annealed specimens by DSC and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Nanocomposites were compounded using melt mixing technique via twin screw extrusion. Owing to basically very effective heterogeneous nucleation effect, addition of HN...
Xanthene-based artifical enzymes and a dimeric calixpyrrole as a chromogenic chemosensor Şaki, Neslihan; Akkaya, Engin Umut; Department of Biochemistry (2004) This thesis covers the combination of two seperate work accomplished during the throughout the study. In the first part of the study, xanthene based artificial enzymes were synthesized, and kinetic hydrolysis studies done. Artificial enzyme design is an active field of supramolecular chemistry and metalloenzymes are attractive targets in such studies. Enzymatic catalysis is essentially a ءmultifuctional̕ catalysis. As part of our work, we designed and synthesized three novel xanthene derivatives. All three ...
