It has been suggested that altering the surface properties of acrylic resin material may change the nature of the adsorbed pellicle affecting denture retention and microbial adherence. This study aimed at evaluating the adsorption of salivary high molecular-weight mucins, a major component of denture pellicle, onto modified acrylic resin surfaces. (Poly) methylmethacrylate specimens were treated by glow discharge plasma technique, using hydrophilic 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylate monomer or oxygen (O-2) gas and hydrophobic Hexamethyldisiloxane monomer, at different discharge powers. Acrylic samples were incubated with high-molecular weight mucin, MG1 purified from saliva, the adsorbed fractions were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes by slot-blot technique, stained by periodic acid-Schiff and colour intensities were analysed by a colour densitometer. Higher amounts of mucins were adsorbed on all the surfaces modified by glow-discharge plasma treatment. Within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that glow-discharge plasma altered the surfaces of acrylic resin denture base materials and significantly increased the adsorption of high molecular-weight mucins at varying levels depending on plasma parameters.

Synthesis and modifications of polyprethanes for biomedical purposes
Hasırcı, Nesrin (2007-10-01)
Polyurethanes are known as a class of polymers with very high 'hemocompatible' properties. In this study polyurethanes were prepared in various compositions and in medical purity without using any solvent, catalyst or additives. For the synthesis of polyurethanes, toluene diisocynate, diphenylmethane diisocynate or hexamethylene diisocynate were used as diisocyanate compounds and polypropylene-ethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol were used as polyol compounds. The surfaces were modified with plasma glow-...
Synthesis and characterization of waterborne silane coupling agent containing silicone-acrylic resin
Akın, Özlem; Aras, Leyla; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2004)
In this study, waterborne silicone-acrylic resin was produced by incorporating silane coupling agent onto the acrylic main chain by emulsion polymerization. After applying different emulsion polymerization processes, batch polymerization was selected to obtain the resultant resin. Thus finding the optimum conditions by investigating the parameters of monomer ratios, initiators, concentrations of initiators, temperature and time, the novel resin was synthesized. Water-dispersed silicone-acrylic resin was pro...
Examination of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine polymer coated acrylic resin denture base material: surface characteristics and Candida albicans adhesion
Turkcan, Irem; NALBANT, ASUDE DİLEK; Bat, Erhan; AKCA, GÜLÇİN (2018-07-01)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer coating with various concentrations onto acrylic resin denture base material on surface characteristics such as contact angle and surface roughness and on Candida albicans adhesion which is the major factor of denture stomatitis. Specimens, prepared from heat-polymerized acrylic denture base material, were divided into control and three test groups, randomly. Surfaces of the specimens in test groups we...
Copper removal from regenerated pickling solutions of steel plants
Sütcü, Esra; Öztürk, Abdullah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020)
Pickling is a metal surface treatment technique, made by strong inorganic acids to prepare metals for subsequent processes. The process generates a substantial amount of waste acid because large amount of acid is spent during the process. The impact of the waste acid to the environment is noticeable. The waste solution contains the contaminants of the metal surface and it is also a source of valuable products, metal salts and copper. When the concentration of copper in the pickling solution exceeds the lev...
SURFACE TREATMENT OF POLYPROPYLENE USING A CAPACITIVELY COUPLED PLASMA SYSTEM
Mecit, Giray; Yedierler, Burak; Department of Physics (2022-2-11)
Gaseous plasmas are suitable for various applications in material science, including but not limited to thin film productions and coatings, tailoring the surface properties of polymers. This study aims to characterize a capacitively coupled plasma system utilized in material processing applications. The system utilizes a 13.56 MHz radio frequency source to produce gaseous plasmas. The correlation between the produced plasmas and the surface physical and surface chemical properties of polypropylene treated b...
