Layer-by-layer (LbL) technique is a simple and unique technique for fabrication of thin films. It is possible to control the film properties during assembly and post-assembly steps. Stimuli responsive polymers are important building blocks for LbL assembly, especially for drug delivery applications of LbL films. Iron oxide nanoparticles have been of interest for biomedical applications such as bioimaging and/or drug delivery via magnetothermal trigger. This thesis study aimed to develop strategies for layer-by-layer assembly of neutral polymers onto iron oxide nano particles. Iron oxide nano particles were synthesized by ultrasound based co-precipitation method and characterized by dynamic light scattering, FTIR spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Multilayers of poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline) (PIPOX) and Tannic Acid (TA) were deposited onto iron oxide nano particles using LbL technique. The driving force for multilayer assembly was found to be hydrogen bonding interactions among PIPOX and TA. Film deposition onto iron oxide nanoparticles was characterized using zeta potential and hydrodynamic size measurements. A model anti-cancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded into LbL coated iron oxide nanoparticles at pH 7.5. It was shown that DOX could be released from the surface of LbL coated iron oxide nanoparticles via both pH and temperature-trigger. DOX released from the surface at moderately acidic conditions due to protonation of TA and loss in electrostatic interactions among TA and DOX. On the other hand, DOX was released from the surface via temperature-trigger due to lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type phase behavior of PIPOX and conformational transition in PIPOX chains within the multilayers resulting in release of DOX molecules. Considering the temperature and pH response of multilayer and potential of iron oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications, results obtained in this thesis are important to develop strategies for LbL coating of iron oxide nanoparticles and release of drug molecules from surfaces.

Deposition and Characterization of ZnSnSe2 Thin-Films Deposited by Using Sintered Stoichiometric Powder Bayrakli Surucu, Ozge; Güllü, Hasan Hüseyin (2019-09-01) In this work, ZnSnSe2 (ZTSe) thin films were deposited using crystalline powder grown by vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger technique. The deposition process was carried out by means of e-beam evaporation on the well-cleaned soda lime glass substrates and keeping them at the substrate temperature of 200 degrees C. The structural, optical and electrical properties of ternary ZTSe thin films were investigated depending on the annealing temperature at 250 and 300 degrees C. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that as...
Sol-Gel processing of organically modified ITO thin films and characterization of their optoelectronic and microstructural properties Kesim, Mehmet Tümerkan; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were formed on glass substrates by sol-gel method. Coating sols were prepared using indium chloride tetrahydrate (InCl3•4H2O) and tin-chloride pentahydrate (SnCl4•5H2O) stabilized in organic solvents (acetylacetone and ethanol). First attempt was to synthesize ITO thin films using standard/unmodified coating sols. The effect of calcination treatment in air (300 – 600 °C) and number of coating layer(s) (1, 4, 7 or 10) on optoelectronic properties (electrical conductivity and...
Fabrication of various metal nanostructures with hole mask colloidal lithography Öztürk, İbrahim Murat; Bek, Alpan; Department of Physics (2014) In this work, a novel surface nanostructuring technique called hole mask colloidal lithography (HMCL) is investigated and utilized to fabricate large area metal nanostructures with several geometries with photoresist over exposure and over develop as the undercutting method. Some extends of this method has been examined with constant angled deposition of dimer structures. HMCL takes advantage of directional nature of thermal evaporation method for metal deposition through the nanoscale holes that are placed...
Optical and structural characteristics of electrodeposited Cd 1-xZnxS nanostructured thin films Erturk, K.; Isik, M.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2021-04-01) The structural and optical characteristics of Cd1-xZnxS (CdZnS) thin films grown by the electrodeposition method were investigated in the present paper. The crystalline structure of the grown CdZnS thin film was determined as cubic wurtzite due to observed diffraction peaks associated with (111) and (220) planes. Atomic compositional ratios of the constituent elements were obtained using energy dispersive spectroscopy and doping concentration of the Zn was found as 5% (x ~ 0.05). Scanning electron microscop...
Film as a medium for unfolding the relationship between architecture and the city Erdem, Melis; Kömez Dağlıoğlu, Esin; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2021-6) Film and filmmaking techniques are powerful mediums that could be incorporated into the architecture and the city. Film and filmmaking techniques have long been addressed and can be traced in several discussions and ideas in architecture. With the advent of digitally-driven architecture, the integration of film into other endeavors has gained new impetus, as this technology espouses the characteristics inherent in the film. However, this discourse became more profound and evolved into layers of criticism in...
