In this study, the potential of highly porous hydrogels based on biodegradable synthetic poly(alpha-amino acids) to support proliferation and chondrogenesis of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) was investigated. Covalently crosslinked gels with permanent pores were formed under cryogenic conditions by free-radical copolymerization of poly[N-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-glutamine-stat-N-5-(2-methacryloyl-oxy-ethyl)- L-glutamine] (PHEG-MA) with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and N-propargyl methacrylamide (PrMAAm) as minor co-monomers. PrMAAm provided alkyne groups for modifying the gels with cell-supporting moieties (RGDS peptides) by the azide-alkyne "click"-reaction. Two types of gels with different compressive moduli were prepared. Each type was modified with two different concentrations of RGDS peptide. X-ray computed nanotomography (nanoCT) was used to visualize and analyze the 3D-structure of the cryogels. It was shown that modifying the PHEG-MA cryogels within the range of RGDS concentrations examined here had a positive effect on the proliferation of hDPSCs. Immunofluorescence staining for collagen type 2 and aggrecan proved that there was differentiation of hDPSCs into chondrocytes.

Strain-enhanced sensitivity of polymeric sensors templated from cholesteric liquid crystals Batır, Özge; Bat, Erhan; Büküşoğlu, Emre (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2020-08-01) Detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is an important issue due to their harmful impact on human health. In this study, we aimed at enhancing the sensitivity of the anisotropic polymeric films templated from cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) in the identification of VOCs at concentrations on the order of 100 ppm. To increase sensitivity, we introduced negative strain to the films in the direction parallel to the helical axis and evaluated its effect on the sensitivity. Specifically, we used LC mix...
Multilayer-derived, ultrathin, stimuli-responsive hydrogels Kozlovskaya, Veronika; Kharlampieva, Eugenia; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Sukhishvili, Svetlana A. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2009-01-01) In addition to a well-known capacity of the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique to create multilayers with strongly bound polymer chains, the technique also provides a unique opportunity to fabricate highly swollen, hydrogel-like films and capsules. Layered, ultrathin hydrogel-like membranes can be fabricated using electrostatically assembled or hydrogen-bonded multilayers as template matrices, or using a click chemistry approach. This review describes recent progress in the area, comparing various approaches us...
Synthesis of conducting polysiloxane-polypyrrole graft copolymers Gunaydin, O; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yagci, Y; Harabagiu, V; Pintela, M; Simionescu, BC (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2002-02-01) Polysiloxane-polypyrrole graft copolymers have been synthesized by a series of chemical reactions and subsequent electropolymerization. First, the hydrosilation of 4-vinyl aniline by dimethyl-methylhydrosiloxane copolymer gave the corresponding aminophenyl functional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS-NH2). The side chain pyrrole functionalized. polysiloxanes were then prepared by the reaction of PDMS-NH2 with glycidylpyrrole. Finally, the synthesis of graft copolymers of polysiloxane and pyrrole has been achieved ...
Crystallization and phase separation mechanism of silicon oxide thin films fabricated via e-beam evaporation of silicon monoxide Gunduz, Deniz Cihan; Tankut, Aydin; Sedani, Salar; Karaman, Mehmet; Turan, Raşit (2015-04-29) In this work, silicon oxide thin films were synthesized via e-beam evaporation of silicon monoxide. Subsequent annealing experiments were carried out to induce Si nanocrystals (Si NCs) formation. A broad range of annealing durations and temperatures were studied. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were employed to study the mechanism of phase separation in silicon oxide films and crystallization of Si. Raman spectroscopy results show...
Core/shell type, Ce3+ and Tb3+ doped GdBO3 system: Synthesis and Celecoxib drug delivery application Çolak, Pelin; Ulusan, Sinem; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Yılmaz, Ayşen (Elsevier BV, 2020-12-01) In this study, luminescent and magnetic core/shell Gd1-x-yCexTbyBO3@SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized and used to design a drug delivery system for Celecoxib (CLX). CLX was chosen as the model drug because it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is highly hydrophobic with relatively low bioavailability. The core was synthesized by Pechini sol-gel method and silica coating was carried out by a Modified Stöber method. Drug loading was carried out in ethanol with high efficiency and an improved drug...
