In this study, three anhydrous forms of calcium carbonate, namely vaterite, aragonite and calcite, with distinct morphologies were incorporated inside silk-fibroin to fabricate composite scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. To assess calcium phosphate mineralization, composite scaffolds were treated with simulated body fluid up to one month. It was observed that composite scaffolds having different calcium carbonate polymorphs expressed different mineralization. Incorporating 25 wt. % of vaterite polymorph, which was the least stable form of calcium carbonate under aqueous conditions, induced the highest calcium phosphate mineralization in silk-fibroin while calcium carbonate-free silk-fibroin scaffolds expressed no calcium phosphate deposition. Results highlighted the importance of calcium carbonate particles in enhancing the bioactivity of silk-fibroin based composite scaffolds

Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite-PLGA composites: Mechanical and microstructural investigation Durucan, Caner (2000-09-15) The microstructural and mechanical properties of composites composed of calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHAp) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) have been investigated. The composites were formed by hydyolysis of alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP) to CDHAp in pressed precomposite compacts of alpha-TCP-PLGA-NaCl. The differences in hydrolysis of alpha-TCP-PLGA-NaCl for two compositions of 80:10:10 wt % and 60:20:20 wt %. were monitored by isothermal calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The microstruc...
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...
Synthesis of calcium carbonate particles for biomedical applications Oral, Çağatay Mert; Ercan, Batur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020) Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles have been widely used in biomedical applications owing to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. In order to effectively utilize CaCO3 particles in biomedical applications, their physical and chemical properties should be systematically controlled. However, this is a challenging task due to the presence of three different anhydrous CaCO3 polymorphs having complex crystallization behavior. In this thesis, CaCO3 particles were synthesized at distinct environments to c...
Synthesis of biomimetic Ca-hydroxyapatite powders at 37 degrees C in synthetic body fluids Tas, AC (2000-07-01) An important inorganic phase for synthetic bone applications, calcium hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)), was prepared as a nano-sized (similar to 50 nm), homogeneous and high-purity ceramic powder from calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate salts dissolved in modified synthetic body fluid (SBF) solutions at 37 degrees C and pH of 7.4 using a novel chemical precipitation technique. The synthesized precursors were found to easily reach a phase purity >99% after 6 h of calcinati...
Production of epoxide functionalized boehmite nanoparticles and their use in epoxide nanocomposites Coniku, Anisa; Gündüz, Güngör; Maviş, Bora; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012) In the present study the effects of addition of organically functionalized boehmite nano-particles on the mechanical properties of epoxy polymers were analyzed. Nanosize platelets of boehmite powders were produced via a hydrothermal process from the raw material aluminum trihydroxide Al(OH)3 provided by a a chemical supplier, but which in future studies can be replaced by local resources of aluminum trihydroxide available in Seydişehir, Turkey. The ground aluminum trihydroxide particles were submitted to a ...
