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 different novel CO2-philic organic-inorganic hybrid liquid POSS (isooctyl POSS and methacrylisooctyl POSS) were used as cell nucleators. Porous thin films were obtained by the solvent-casting of the polymer with these additives even prior to scCO2 foaming of composites. Meanwhile, scCO2 processing of these films at 313 K and 21 MPa, increased the pore density. Also, foaming of highly crystalline PLLA composite films (>45%) was achieved at low temperature with the help of two novel CO2-philic components used as cell nucleators. scCO2 processing enhanced the mechanical and thermal properties such as elastic modulus and Tg of the highlycrystalline PLLA porous films. scCO2 processing of composite films also allowed extraction of almost all cell nucleator from matrices. 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.

Highly Crystalline Poly(L-lactic acid) Porous Films Prepared with CO2-philic, Hybrid, Liquid Cell Nucleators Culhacioglu, Yagmur; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Dilek Hacıhabiboğlu, Çerağ (2019-12-18) 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...
Polymer foaming with supercritical carbon dioxide Novendra, Novendra; Dilek Hacıhabiboğlu, Çerağ; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2015) High molecular weight semi crystalline poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) was processed with environmentally benign and non-toxic supercritical carbon dioxide with and without the addition of two different additives to form porous polymeric thin films for biomedical applications such as drug delivery. One of the additives was a CO2-philic additive, trifluoropropyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (TFPOSS), and the other was a non CO2-philic additive, octamethyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OMPOSS).

Surface functionalization of SBA-15 particles for amoxicillin delivery Sevimli, Filiz; Yılmaz, Ayşen (2012-08-01) The hydrothermally synthesized SBA-15 particles were surface functionalized by post-grafting synthesis method with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxy silane, mercaptopropyl trimethoxy silane and triethoxy methyl silane in order to be used as carrier materials for drug delivery. Amoxicillin was used as a model drug. The adsorption and release properties of calcined and organic-functionalized mesoporous silicas containing terminal primary amine, organothiol and methyl groups toward amoxicillin have been investigated. ...
Dynamic and steady state analysis of low temperature ethane oxidative dehydrogenation over chromia and chromia-vanadia catalysts Karamullaoglu, Gulsun; Doğu, Timur (2007-11-02) Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene was investigated over Chromia and Cr-V mixed oxide catalysts synthesized following a complexation procedure. With an O-2/C2H6 feed ratio of 0.17, Chromia exhibited a total conversion value of about 0.20 at 447 degrees C (at a space time of 0.24 s.g/mL) with an ethylene selectivity of 0.82. Chromia catalyst was more active than Cr-V mixed oxide at temperatures as low as 200 degrees C. Pulse-response experiments carried out with ethane pulses injected into O-2-H...
Activated carbon-tungstophosphoric acid catalysts for the synthesis of tert-amyl ethyl ether (TAEE) Obali, Zeynep; Doğu, Timur (2008-05-01) Catalytic activities of bulk tungstophosphoric acid (HPW) and its supported forms on activated carbon were investigated in the vapor phase etherification reaction of isoamylene with ethanol in a continuous flow reactor. Tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40 center dot 11H(2)O) was supported on activated carbon having a surface area of 796 m(2)/g, at two different loading levels (25% and 31%) by aqueous impregnation technique and the kinetic experiments were done in a temperature range between 353 and 370 K.
