The aim of this study was to investigate the microstructure, mechanical and biological properties of pure hydroxyapatite and composites of hydroxyapatite with zirconia, boron oxide and lanthanum oxide. Hydroxyapatite was synthesized via precipitation method and sintered at 1100°C for 1 h. It was observed that relative density of the sintered composites including zirconia was increased while the density of composites including boron oxide decreased. For physical and structural analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, mercury intrusion porosimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy examinations were performed. Due to boron oxide and zirconia substitution, small amounts of β-TCP phase were detected besides hydroxyapatite. Scanning electron microscopy results revealed that addition of composite powders resulted in smaller grains for zirconia group and bigger grain size for boron oxide group. Presence of different atoms and their corresponding weight ratios were determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Mercury intrusion porosimetry test showed the percent porosity of the composites. In Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, in vi addition to the characteristic bands of hydroxyapatite, novel bands indicating the substitution of zirconia, boron oxide and Lanthanum oxide were observed in samples. The microhardness test revealed that zirconia had a positive effects on the mechanical properties of the samples up to a certain amount, while substitution of the boron oxide had a negative effect on their mechanical properties. In order to evaluate the biocompatibility, in vitro cytotoxicity tests were performed using Saos-2 cells. PrestoBlue® assay viability test was used to analyze cell proliferation on the surface of samples. It was observed that composites including zirconia have a better biocompatibility and higher cell attachment rate than those including boron oxide. Scanning electron microscopy images were examined to observe morphology of the cells on the surface of the samples and it was observed that in all samples, the surface of the pellets were covered with cell layers showing perfect cell-material interaction.

An investigation of microstructure, microhardness and biocompatibility characteristics of yttrium hydroxyapatite doped with fluoride
Toker, Sıdıka Mine; Evis, Zafer; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2010)
The aim of this study was to investigate the microstructure, microhardness and biocompatibility properties of nano hydroxyapatite (HA) doped with a constant yttrium (Y3+) and varying fluoride (F-) compositions. HA was synthesized via precipitation method and sintered at 1100C for 1 hour. Increased densities were achieved upon Y3+ doping while F- doping led to a decrease in densities. For structural analysis, XRD, SEM and FTIR spectroscopy examinations were performed. No secondary phases were observed in XR...
An investigation of the microstructural and mechanical properties of tri-calcium phosphates doped with aluminum and fluoride ions
Tahmasebifar, Aydin; Evis, Zafer; Department of Engineering Sciences (2011)
The aim of this study was to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of pure tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and tricalcium phosphates doped with aluminum (Al3+) and fluoride (F-) ions at different compositions. TCP was synthesized via precipitation method and sintered at 1100C for 1 and 5 h. It was observed that density and relative density of the sintered materials were decreased by extending the sintering time. Increased densities were achieved upon Al3+ and/or F- doping. For structural anal...
Investigation of bismuth doped bioglass/graphene oxide nanocomposites for bone tissue engineering
Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer (2018-03-01)
In this study, bismuth doped 45S5 nanobioactive bioglass (nBG) and graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites were developed and characterized in terms of microstructural, mechanical, bioactivity and biological properties. Bismuth (Bi) - doped nBG was synthesized by sol-gel method and sintered at 600 degrees C for 2 h. Nanosized GO was homogeneously mixed with Bi doped bioglass at various ratios to prepare nanocomposites. Addition of Bi increased the density of nBG samples while a considerable decrease in density w...
Development of polybenzimidazole/graphene oxide composite membranes for high temperature PEM fuel cells
Uregen, Nurhan; Pehlivanoglu, Kubra; Ozdemir, Yagmur; DEVRİM, YILSER (2017-01-26)
In this study, phosphoric acid doped Polybenzimidazole/Graphene Oxide (PBI/GO) nano composite membranes were prepared by dispersion of various amounts of GO in PBI polymer matrix followed by phosphoric acid doping for high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) application. The structure of the PBI/GO composite membranes was investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The introduction of GO into the FBI polymer matri...
Investigation of thermoluminescence properties of metal oxide doped lithium triborate
Oezdemir, Zeynep; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Yılmaz, Aysun (2007-10-01)
In this study, lithium triborate (LiB3O5) doped with different metal oxides were investigated to explore its thermoluminescence properties. Solid-state reaction method was employed for the synthesis of the desired materials. The formation of the produced phases was confirmed by Powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Infrared (IR), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) examinations. It was found that, CuO and Al2O3 doped lithium triborate samples exhibit very significant thermol...
