Biodegradable materials have various important applications in the biomedical field. Poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s are a family of microbially synthesized polymers and known to degrade in vitro and vivo, as well as in microorganism. The structure, crystallization and melting of three types of poly(hyroxyalkanoate)s namely poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) homopolymer, P(3HB), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) copolymer, P(3HB-co-3HV, and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) copolymer, P(3HB-co-4HB) were investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. P(3HB-co-3HV) and P(3HB-co-4HB) were studied in the presence of different molar ratio of 3HV and 4HB, respectively. The FTIR spectra of samples in solution and as cast film were compared at room temperature, in the region of 4000-400 cm(-1) which showed significant differences between the two phases. Furthermore, the temperature dependent variations of these polymers were also studied between 25 and 200 degrees C. The heating and cooling FTIR experiments of the samples showed that P(3HB-co-3HV) and P(3HB-co-4HB) are reversible while P(3HB) is irreversible. The absorbance variances of the crystalline and the amorphous bands revealed that the structure, crystallinity and thermal behavior of, P(3HB), P(3HB-co-4HB) and P(3HB-co-3HV) are different from each other. This study also allowed us the identification of the bands which are sensitive to crystallinity. For example, the bands at 1185, 1278 and 1724 cm(-1) were found to be sensitive to crystallinity. In the present study, P(3HB) and P(3HB-co-3HV) samples which were modified by applying oxygen plasma to create hydrophilic surfaces were also analyzed. The shifting in the frequency of some infrared bands (i.e. C-O and C-O-C) and the appearance of some bands may indicate some modification on the structure of the polymers.

FTIR studies of temperature influence on the DPPG model membrane Severcan, Feride; Dorohoi, Dana-Ortansa (Elsevier BV, 2008-09-17) The thermal changes induced in dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl glycerol (DPPG) model membranes were studied by FIR technique. When temperature increases, the DPPG model membrane passes from a high ordered gel phase to a few ordered liquid crystalline phase. The very quick passing between the two phases is characterized by the main phase transition temperature at which the bilayers contain equal percentages of ordered and disordered phospholipids. The main phase transition induces important changes in the symmetric...
Versatility of biodegradable biopolymers: degradability and an in vivo application Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Gresser, JD; Wise, DL; Trantolo, DJ (2001-03-30) Biodegradable materials have various important applications in the biomedical field. There are basically two groups of polyesters which have significant importance in this field. These are polylactides and polyhydroxybutyrates. Both groups degrade via hydrolysis with the rates of degradation depending on medium properties such as pH, temperature, solvent and presence of biocatalysts, as well as on chemical compositions. In order for these biomaterials to be suitable for use in load bearing applications with...
Phenol biosensor based on electrochemically controlled integration of tyrosinase in a redox polymer Yildiz, Huseyin Bekir; Castillo, Jaime; Guschin, Dmitrii A.; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Schuhmann, Wolfgang (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-06-01) An amperometric biosensor for the detection of phenolic compounds was developed based on the immobilization of tyrosinase within an Os-complex functionalized electrodeposition polymer. Integration of tyrosinase within the redox polymer assures efficient catechol recycling between the enzyme and the polymer bound redox sites. The non-manual immobilization procedure improves the reproducibility of fabrication process, greatly reduces the desorption of the enzyme from the immobilization layer, and, most import...
FTIR and turbidity studies of fish oil-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine model membrane interactions Severcan, Feride; Bayari, S; Karahan, D (Elsevier BV, 1999-05-04) The temperature induced effects of fish oil on dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) model membranes (fish oil/lipid ratio: 2% w/w) were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) smd UV/Visible spectroscopic techniques. In FTIR study the C-H and C=O stretching modes were investigated. The results of the FTIR study reveals that fish oil changes the physical properties of the DPPC multilamellar liposomes by broadening the phase transition profile and increasing the bandwidth of the CH2 stretching ban...
Electrochromic and photovoltaic applications of benzotriazole bearing donor acceptor type conjugated polymers Baran, Derya; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2010) Organic semi-conductors are of great interest since these compounds can be utilized as active layers in many device applications such as ECDs, LEDs and solar cells. Incorporating the benzotriazole units into the polymer backbone enhances the optical properties of donor units. Hexyl thiophene and pyrrole are commonly used as electron donor materials. Benzotriazole can be coupled to hexyl thiophene or pyrrole to yield materials which can be polymerized to give donor acceptor type polymers. These materials are...
