Supercritical CO2 (scCO(2)) foaming of poly(L-lactic acid) composite films with liquid polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (PLLA-POSS) was carried out to obtain polymer matrices for drug delivery applications. Highly crystalline (>45%) PLLA generally requires high supercritical processing (saturation) temperatures close to its melting temperature (similar to 450 K) and pressures about or over 20 MPa for foaming with scCO(2). To decrease the saturation temperature and obtain ductile PLLA films with uniform and homogeneous porosity, we used two different, novel CO2-philic organic-inorganic hybrid liquid POSS as cell nucleators. The solvent-casting of the polymer with these additives resulted in porous thin films. ScCO2 processing at 313 K and 21 MPa increased the pore density and enhanced the mechanical and thermal properties such as elastic modulus and T-g of the highly crystalline PLLA porous films. ScCO2 processing led to the extraction of the cell nucleators, allowing the recovery of these additives from the porous films. Drug release studies with a model antibiotic (Ceftriaxone Sodium) showed that the porous films exhibit burst release characteristics, which is suitable for local antibiotic applications.

Foaming of highly-crystalline PLLA filmswith CO2-philic hybrid liquid cell nucleators Çulhacıoğlu, Yağmur; Dilek Hacıhabiboğlu, Çerağ; Department of Chemical Engineering (2019) Supercritical CO2 (scCO2) foaming of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) composites with CO2-philic additives was carried out to obtain polymeric matrices as carriers for drug delivery applications. Highly crystalline PLLA (>45%) generally requires high processing temperatures close to its melting point (~450 K), and pressures about or over 20 MPa for foaming with scCO2. In this study, in order to decrease the saturation temperature and obtain ductile PLLA films with homogeneously distributed uniform porosity, two d...
Miscibility of methylmethacrylate-co-methacrylic acid polymer with magnesium, zinc, and manganese sulfonated polystyrene ionomers Alkan, C; Yurtseven, N; Aras, L (2005-01-01) The miscibility of methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid polymer (MMA-MAA) with metal neutralized sulfonated polystyrene ionomers was investigated by viscometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared radiation spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. Polystyrene (PS) was sulfonated by acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid and the sulfonation degree was found to be 2.6 mole percent, and 2.6 mole percent sulfonated polystyrene was neutralized by Mg, Zn, and Mn salts. The miscibility be...
Poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposites involving aromatic diboronic acid Goktas, Muberra; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2019-12-01) In this work, poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, composites involving various amounts of aromatic diboronic acid, BDBA, in the absence and presence of organically modified montmorillonite, Cloisite 30B, C30B, were prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetry, and direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry analyses. Morphologic analyses indicated homogenous dispersion of additives in PMMA matrix. Increase in thermal stability of PMMA was observed as the amount of ...
Fully metal oxide charge selective layers for n-i-p perovskite solar cells employing nickel oxide nanoparticles Icli, Kerem Cagatay; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2018-02-10) An alcohol based nickel oxide nanoparticle dispersion was prepared and used to deposit hole conductor medium for a polymeric substance free perovskite solar cell in mesoscopic n-i-p configuration. In contrast to conventional p-i-n configuration or inverted type perovskite solar cells, nickel oxide layer was spin coated directly on perovskite layer and the perovskite layer was sandwiched between two metal oxides, TiO2 and NiO, resulting in n-i-p configuration. High surface area nickel oxide nanoparticles wer...
Thermal degradation of Polylactide/Poly(ethylene glycol) fibers and composite fibers involving organoclay Ozdemir, Esra; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2018-01-01) In this study, electrospun fibers of melt blended poly(lactic acid) and poly(ethylene glycol), (PLA)-PEG blends involving 10, 15 and 20 wt% PEG and their corresponding composites with organically modified montmorillonite, Cloisite 30B were prepared and characterized by x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry techniques. The narrower fiber diameters observed for the PLA-PEG fibers involving organoclay compared to the corresponding neat fib...
