Aims & method: In this study, a microbial polyester, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), and its blends were electrospun into PHBV (10% w/v), PHBV (15% w/v), PHBV-PLLA (5% w/v), PHBV-PLGA (50:50) (15% w/v) and PHBV-P(L,DL)LA (5% w/v) fibrous scaffolds for tissue engineering. Results: Various processing parameters affected the morphology and the dimensions of beads formed on the fibers. Concentration was highly influential on fiber properties; as it increased from 5 to 15% (w/v), fiber diameter increased from 284 133 nm to 2200 716 nm. Increase in potential (from 20 to 50 kV) did not lead to the expected decrease in fiber diameter. The blends of PHBV with lactide-based polymers led to fibers with less beads and more uniform diameter. The surface porosities for PHBV10, PHBV15, PHBV-PLLA, PHBV-PLGA (50:50) and PHBV-P(L,DL)LA were 38.0 +/- 3.8, 40.1 +/- 8.5, 53.8 +/- 4.2, 50.0 +/- 4.2 and 30.8 +/- 2.7%, respectively. In vitro studies using human osteosarcoma cells (Saos-2) revealed that the electrospun scaffolds promoted cell growth and penetration. Surface modification with oxygen plasma treatment slightly improved the improved the results in terms of cell number increase and significantly improved spreading of the cells. Conclusion: All scaffolds prepared by electrospinning have implied significant potential for use in further studies leading to bone tissue engineering applications. The PHBV-PLLA blend appeared to yield the best results regarding cell number increase, their attachment and spreading inside and on the scaffold.

Platinum nanocatalysts prepared with different surfactants for C1-C3 alcohol oxidations and their surface morphologies by AFM Ertan, Salih; Sen, Fatih; Sen, Selda; Gökağaç Arslan, Gülsün (2012-06-01) In this study, platinum nanoparticle catalysts have been prepared using PtCl4 as a starting material and 1-octanethiol, 1-decanethiol, 1-dodecanethiol, and 1-hexadecanethiol as surfactants for methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol oxidation reactions. The structure, particle sizes, and surface morphologies of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD and TEM results indicate that all prepared catalysts have a face-centere...
Electrochemical decomposition of SiO2 pellets to form silicon in molten salts Ergul, Emre; Karakaya, İshak; Erdogan, Metehan (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-21) Direct electrochemical reduction of porous SiO2 pellets in molten CaCl2 salt and CaCl2-NaCl salt mixture was investigated by applying 2.8 V potential. The study focused on the effects of temperature, particle size of SiO2 powder starting material and the behavior of cathode contacting materials during electrochemical reduction process. The starting materials and the electrolysis products were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy mainly. The studies showed that smaller...
Electrospun polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers containing cyclodextrin inclusion complex Uyar, Tamer; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Besenbacher, Flemming (2011-01-01) In this study, we obtained functional electrospun nanofibers containing stable fragrance/flavor molecule facilitated by cyclodextrin inclusion complexation. Menthol was used as a model fragrance/flavor molecule and we have electrospun poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) nanofibers containing cyclodextrin-menthol inclusion complexes (CD-menthol-IC). We used two different solvent systems; water and water:ethanol and three types of CDs; alpha-CD, beta-CD and gamma-CD in order to find the optimal performance for the sta...
Electrospun amino-functionalized PDMS as a novel SPME sorbent for the speciation of inorganic and organometallic arsenic species Boyacı, Ezel; Cagir, Ali; Demir, Mustafa M.; Eroglu, Ahmet E. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2013-01-01) Sol-gel based amine-functionalized SPME fibers (PDMS-weak anion exchanger) were prepared and used for direct mode extraction of dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), and arsenate (As(V)) from aqueous solutions followed by HPLC-ICPMS determination. Two different methods of coating were employed: (i) electrospinning and (ii) dip coating. Electrospinning was used for the first time for preparation of sol-gel based SPME fibers and was found to be superior in terms of extracted amount of arse...
Macroporous poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) matrices for bone tissue engineering Kose, GT; Kenar, H; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2003-05-01) Macroporous poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid-co-3-hydroxyvaleric acid) (PHBV) matrices were prepared after solvent evaporation and solute leaching. PHBV solutions with different concentrations were prepared in chloroform: dichloromethane (1:2, v/v). In order to create a matrix with high porosity and uniform pore sizes, sieved sucrose crystals (75-300 or 300-500 mum) were used. PHBV foams were treated with rf-oxygen plasma to modify their surface chemistry and hydrophilicity with the aim of increasing the reattach...
