Macroporous poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) matrices for bone tissue engineering

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 reattachment of osteoblasts. Surface characteristics, pore sizes and their distribution on PHBV surface were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Scion Image Analysis Program. Void volume, pore sizes and density of foams were found to be significantly affected by foam preparation conditions. Stability of PHBV foams in aqueous media was studied. Their weight and density were unchanged for a period of 120 days and then a significant decrease was observed for the rest of the study (60 days). Osteoblasts were seeded onto the foams and their proliferation inside the matrices was also determined by SEM. After 29 and 60 days of incubation, growth of osteoblasts on matrices was observed.

Distyryl-boradiazaindacenes: facile synthesis of novel near IR emitting fluorophores
Dost, Zeynep; Atilgan, Serdar; Akkaya, Engin U. (Elsevier BV, 2006-09-04)
Boradiazaindacenes with methyl substituents at 3 and 5 positions were for the first time shown to undergo efficient double condensation reactions with an aromatic aldehyde yielding a series of extended conjugation dyes. These new fluorophores have absorption maxima in the range of 650-660 nm. The dyes reported here have large quantum yields with 20 nm Stokes' shifted emission peaks. The straightforward synthesis of such red shifted BODIPY derivatives is important in relation to the synthesis of novel and us...
Celulose Membranes for Organic Solvent Nanofiltration
Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep; Elif Nur, Durmaz (2015-11-19)
Cellulose membranes were fabricated by phase inversion from solutions of cellulose in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM]OAc) as solvent and acetone as volatile cosolvent. The rejection of Bromothymol Blue (624 Da) in ethanol increased and the permeance decreased by increasing the cellulose concentration in the solution prior to coagulation, either by having more cellulose in the starting solution or by evaporating the volatile cosolvent. Drying the membranes after coagulation further increased the ...
INTRAZEOLITE SEMICONDUCTORS - NA-23 MAS NMR, TL+ LUMINESCENCE QUENCHING, AND FAR-IR STUDIES OF ACID-BASE PRECURSOR CHEMISTRY IN ZEOLITE-Y
MCMURRAY, L; HOLMES, AJ; KUPERMAN, A; OZIN, GA; Özkar, Saim (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1991-11-01)
Proton-loaded zeolites, prepared from fully dehydrated zeolites and gaseous, anhydrous Bronsted acids, represent an important step in the synthesis of intrazeolite semiconductor quantum supralattices. Adsorption-induced Na-23 MAS NMR chemical shifts, far-IR Na+ and Tl+ translatory mode frequency shifts, and Tl+ luminescence quenching effects were chosen as probes of cation-anion interaction in these materials. Samples of zeolite Y with various loadings of Tl+ were prepared via aqueous ion-exchange techniq...

In this study, phosphoric acid doped PBI nanocomposite membranes were prepared by dispersion of various amounts of inorganic nanoparticles in PBI polymer followed by phosphoric acid (H3PO4) doping for high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFC). All of the PBI composite membranes were cast from the same FBI polymer with the same molecular weight. Titanium dioxide (TiO2), silicon dioxide (SiO2) and inorganic proton conductor zirconium phosphate (ZrP) were used as inorganic fillers. The PB...

In this study, synthesis of two multifunctional acetic acid functionalized carbazole bearing monomers; 243,6-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno [3,4-b] [1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-9H-carbazol-9-yl)acetic acid (Ml) and 3,6-dithien-2-yl-9H car bazol-9-ylaceticacid (M2) via Stille cross-coupling reaction was reported. Obtained monomers were electro-chemically polymerized in 0.1 M TBAPF(6)/DCM/ACN (5:95, v:v) solution and characterized in terms of electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical and electrochromic switching behaviors.
