The effect of the particle size of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and the incorporation of chitosan (CH) on the mechanical and thermal properties and the biocompatibility of acrylic bone cements were investigated. Three groups of bone cements were prepared with different PMMA particles. Groups 1 (BC1) and 2 (BC2) contained ground and sieved PMMA with particle sizes in the ranges 50-150 m and 1-50 m, and group 3 (BC3) contained synthesized PMMA microspheres with a size of about 1 m. The mechanical properties of the three groups were similar, but their curing properties were significantly affected. The presence of CH improved the mechanical and thermal properties. For the BC1 group, the compressive strength increased more than 10 MPa, and the curing temperature decreased 12 degrees. The cement having the optimum properties (BC1) was applied to rats, where it enhanced the bone bonding ability, and bioactivity was observed. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Impact modified polyamide-6/organoclay nanocomposites: Processing and characterization Isik, Isil; YILMAZER, ÜLKÜ; Bayram, Göknur (Wiley, 2008-02-01) The effects of melt state compounding of ethylene-butyl acrylate-maleic anhydride (E-BA-MAH) terpolymer and/or three types of organoclays (Cloisitel(R) 15A, 25A, and 3013) on thermal and mechanical properties and morphology of polyamide-6 are investigated. E-BA-MAH formed spherical domains in the materials to which it is added, and increased the impact strength, whereas the organoclays decreased the impact strength. In general, the organoclays increased the tensile strength (except for Cloisite 15A), Young'...
Ternary nanocomposites of high density, linear low density and low density polyethylenes Uçar, Egemen; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2007) In this study, the effects of organoclay loading, compatibilizer loading and polyethylene type on the morphology, rheology, thermal properties and mechanical properties of polyethylene/compatibilizer/organoclay nanocomposites were investigated. As compatibilizer, terpolymer of ethylene-methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (Lotader® AX8900), as organoclay Cloisite® 15A were used. All samples were prepared by a co-rotating twin screw extruder, followed by injection molding. Considering ternary nanocomposites, h...
Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) Composite Scaffolds Loaded with Gentamicin-Containing beta-Tricalcium Phosphate/Gelatin Microspheres for Bone Tissue Engineering Applications Sezer, Umran Aydemir; Arslantunalı Şahin, Damla; Aksoy, Eda Ayse; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2014-04-15) In this study, novel poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) composite scaffolds were prepared for bone tissue engineering applications, where gentamicin-loaded -tricalcium phosphate (-TCP)/gelatin microspheres were added to PCL. The effects of the amount of -TCP/gelatin microspheres added to the PCL scaffold on various properties, such as the gentamicin release rate, biodegradability, morphology, mechanical strength, and pore size distribution, were investigated. A higher amount of filler caused a reduction in th...
AMORPHOUS-TO-CRYSTALLINE TRANSITION OF SELENIUM THIN-FILMS DEPOSITED ONTO ALUMINUM SUBSTRATES Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (Elsevier BV, 1990-01-01) The crystallization of amorphous selenium (a-Se) films prepared by vacuum deposition at < 10−5torr onto aluminum substrates at 20°C was examined. The amorphous-to-crystalline transition was obtained by annealing the films between 70–85°C. The crystalline structures resulting from annealing at different temperatures have been identified by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). X-ray and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) studies revealed that these crystals were of hexagonal structure. The thicknesses of t...
Microstructural, mechanical, and osteocompatibility properties of Mg2+/F--doped nanophase hydroxyapatite Sun, Zehra Pinar; Ercan, Batur; Evis, Zafer; Webster, Thomas J. (Wiley, 2010-09-01) Pure as well as Mg2+- and F--doped nanophase (i.e., grain sizes in the nanometer regime in at least one dimension) hydroxyapatite (HA) samples were synthesized by a precipitation method followed by sintering at 1100 degrees C for 1 h to determine their microstructural, mechanical, and osteoblast (bone-forming cell) adhesion properties pertinent for orthopedic applications. Different amounts of Mg2+ and F- ions (specifically from 0 to 7.5 mol %) were doped into the HA samples. X-ray diffraction was used to i...
