We report on preparation of substrates with dual function coatings, i.e. bacterial anti-adhesive and antibacterial agent releasing polymer films of zwitterionic block copolymer micelles (BCMs). BCMs were obtained by pH-induced self-assembly of poly[3-dimethyl (methacryloyloxyethyl) ammonium propane sulfonate-b-2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (beta PDMA-b-PDPA), resulting in BCMs with zwitterionic beta PDMA-coronae and pH-responsive PDPA-core. These zwitterionic BCMs were then used as building blocks to construct mono- and multi-layer films. We found that the number of layers in the film was critical for the anti-adhesive property and 3-layer films were the most anti-adhesive against a model Gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus. Antibacterial activity could be introduced to the films by loading Triclosan into beta PDMA-b-PDPA micelles. Triclosan containing films were effective against Triclosan-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus specifically at moderately acidic conditions due to pH induced disintegration of the micellar core blocks and release of Triclosan from the surface. Three layer films also exhibited anti-adhesive property at physiological pH against a model Gram-negative bacterium, Escherichia coli. At moderately acidic pH, the coatings showed a contact antibacterial effect against an isolate of Escherichia coli with low sensitivity to Triclosan only when micellar cores were loaded with Triclosan. Such dual function films can be promising to combat biofouling at the non homogeneous and/or defective parts of an anti-adhesive coating. Moreover, considering the moderately acidic conditions around an infection site, these multilayers can be advantageous due to their property of pH-induced antibacterial agent release.

Facilitation of water management in low Pt loaded PEM fuel cell by creating hydrophobic microporous layer with PTFE, FEP and PDMS polymers: Effect of polymer and carbon amounts
ÖZTÜRK, Ayşenur; FIÇICILAR, BERKER; Eroğlu, İnci; BAYRAKÇEKEN YURTCAN, Ayşe (2017-08-17)
Microporous layers (MPLs) were prepared with different hydrophobic polymers to establish water management in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Besides conventionally used polymers polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), two different molecular weights (MW) of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer were used as hydrophobic materials in MPL. Membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) having MPLs with low MW PDMS polymer exhibited the best fuel cell performance compared to ...

Conducting FTO coatings produced using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis for heating applications
Süer, Başar; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018)
In this thesis, fluorine doped tin dioxide (FTO) coatings were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel (SS) substrates using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique. Four different candidate insulating intermediate layers of TiO2, MgO, Al2O3 and SiO2 were selected and coated on AISI 304 using USP and investigated in order to overcome dielectric breakdown of FTO layer due to conductive nature of stainless steel substrate under the applied voltage. After the optimization of the process parameters for the dep...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) particles with enhanced antibacterial properties can be prepared by integrating metal ions into the crystal structure of the nanoparticles. Cobalt and silicate ions containing HA (Co/Si-HA) with the formula Ca10-xCox(PO4)6-y(SiO4)y(OH)2 (x = 0.2, 0.6, and 1.0 and y = 0.5) was successfully synthesised by using microwave-assisted wet precipitation method.

Sol-gel synthesis of antibacterial silver-doped silica powders from sodium silicate (water glass)
Tufan, Evrim Özdem; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2013)
Sol-gel processing routes for the synthesis of antibacterial silver-doped silica (Ag-SiO2) powders from an inorganic precursor, sodium silicate (Na2SiO3, water glass), have been established. For the synthesis of SiO2 powders, two different processing approaches were used. In the first one (indirect synthesis), silver ions were incorporated into the immature wet silica gels obtained from sodium silicate by the exposure of the silica gels to aqueous silver nitrate (AgNO3) solutions. In the second one, silver ...
