Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLGA-b-PEG) can self-assemble into core/shell nanostructures in aqueous environment due to its amphiphilic nature. These nanostructures have been widely used as drug carriers in the biomedical applications due to biocompatibility and biodegradability of PLGA-b-PEG. Biodegradable character of the nanostructures provides an advantage for controlled drug delivery systems. The drug release occurs through hydrolytic degradation of PLGA core. There are studies reporting on the aqueous solution behavior of PLGA-b-PEG nanocarriers. However, there are limited numbers of studies concerning use of PLGA-b-PEG polymersomes as building blocks in preparation of layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembled films. In this study, Doxorubicin and Paclitaxel loaded PLGA-b-PEG polymersomes were prepared and used as building blocks together with Tannic Acid (TA) in the preparation of LbL films. It was shown that multilayer deposition conditions affected the kinetics of drug release from the surface at acidic conditions. Moreover, it was demonstrated that release kinetics could also be controlled by constructing barrier layers within the LbL films. Incorporation of PLGA-b-PEG polymersomes into multilayers is important to increase the loading capacity of the films and to enhance the stability of polymersomes in the bloodstream. Considering the biodegradability of PLGA-b-PEG, important biological properties of TA and controllable release kinetics via LbLfilm architecture, such multilayers may be promising for controlled delivery applications from surfaces.

Hydrogen production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU001 in a flat plate solar bioreactor Eroglu, Inci; Tabanoglu, Altan; Gündüz, Ufuk; Eroglu, Ela; Yucel, Meral (2008-01-01) Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 can produce hydrogen under anaerobic conditions and illumination. The objective of this study was to investigate the performance of an 81 flat plate solar bioreactor operating in outdoor conditions. Different organic acids were used as carbon sources (malate, lactate and acetate) and olive mill waste water was used as a sole substrate source. The consumption and the production of the organic acids were determined by HPLC. The accumulation of by-products, such as poly-beta-hyd...
Hydrogen gas production by combined systems of Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU001 and Halobacterium salinarum in a photobioreactor Zabut, Baker; EI-Kahlout, Kamal; Yucel, Meral; Gündüz, Ufuk; Turker, Lemi; Eroglu, Inci (2006-09-01) Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 is a photosynthetic non-sulfur bacterium which produces hydrogen from organic compounds under anaerobic conditions. Halobacterium salinarum is an archaeon and lives under extremely halophilic conditions (4 M NaCl). H. salinarum contains a retinal protein bacteriorhodopsin in its purple membrane which acts as a light-driven proton pump. In this study the Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 culture was combined with different amounts of packed cells of H. salinarum S9 or isolated p...
Hydrogen sulfide determination by solid surface luminescence Eroglu, AE; Volkan, Mürvet; Bayramh, E; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Mark, HB (1996-07-01) In the analytical system suggested, atmospheric hydrogen sulfide reacts with the surface of a filter paper treated with aqueous cadmium chloride and yields a luminescent species whose intensity can be correlated with the analyte concentration in ambient air. It was shown that the luminescent species are CdS solid particles which were formed in a well defined size. The paper luminescence was also tried on polymeric surfaces; polyethyleneoxide, polyvinyl alcohol, ethylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose were...
Investigation of zinc and lead removel from aqueous solutions using clinoptilolite Moralı, Nihan; İmamoğlu, İpek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2006) Natural zeolites, especially clinoptilolite, have the ability of removing certain cations from wastewater by utilizing ion exchange and adsorption. In this study, clinoptilolite originated from Bigadiç, Balıkesir deposit was investigated in its natural and conditioned form for its effectiveness in removing Zn2+ and Pb2+ ions from aqueous solutions. In addition, relevant mechanisms involved in heavy metal removal by clinoptilolite were examined in this study. Throughout this work, equilibrium and kinetic stu...
Hydrogen productivity of photosynthetic bacteria on dark fermenter effluent of potato steam peels hydrolysate Afsar, Nilufer; Ozgur, Ebru; Gurgan, Muazzez; Akkose, Sevilay; Yucel, Meral; Gündüz, Ufuk; Eroglu, Inci (2011-01-01) Hydrogen productivities of different photosynthetic bacteria have been searched on real thermophilic dark fermentation effluents (DFE). The results obtained with potato steam peels hydrolysate (PSP) DFE were compared to glucose DFE. Photobiological hydrogen production has been carried out in indoor, batch photobioreactors using several strains of purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacteria such as Rhodobacter capsulatus (DSM1710), Rhodobacter capsulatus hup- (YO3), Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 (DSM5864), Rb. sphaer...
