Creating tougher interfaces via suture morphology in 3D-printed multi-material polymer composites by fused filament fabrication
Altuntas, Umut; Çöker, Demirkan; Yavas, Denizhan (2023-01-05)
This study presents a facile strategy for architecting the interface morphology to create tougher and stronger interfaces in additively manufactured multi-material polymer composites. A sutural interfacial morphology between two dissimilar polymer phases PLA (hard) and TPU (soft) is designed and fabricated by the fused filament fabrication technique. The proposed strategy utilizes one of the process parameters (i.e., overlap distance) to create sutural interfaces with soft protrusions. The microscopic inspe...
Synthesis and characterization of copolymers of diisocyanates and dialcohol
Keskin, Selda; Usanmaz, Ali; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2008)
This study was aimed to synthesize low molecular weight hydroxyl terminated polyurethane acrylate polymers that can be used in biomedical applications. Acrylate end capping via inter-esterification reaction was successfully achieved with the methacryloyl chloride addition to the hydroxyl ends of the polyurethane at low temperatures. Isocyanate terminated polyurethane acrylates were also synthesized for the sake of comparison. TDI, HDI and MDI were used as diisocyanates for urethane synthesis and they were e...
Design and analysis of an ultra-thin crystalline silicon heterostructure solar cell featuring SiGe absorber layer
HUSSAIN, Shahzad; MEHMOOD, Haris; Khizar, Muhammad; Turan, Raşit (2018-07-01)
Here, the authors studied a silicon-germanium (Si1-xGex) absorber layer for the design and simulation of an ultra-thin crystalline silicon solar cell using Silvaco technology computer-aided design. Seeking ways to design and fabricate solar cells using 100m thicker silicon substrates is the subject of intense research efforts among the photovoltaic (PV) community. The aim is to further reduce the substrate thickness to 20m without compromising the efficiency of the solar cell. A thin layer of SiGe film with...
Development of 3-d printed exohand for mirror therapy
Yılmaz, Tunahan; Turgut, Ali Emre; Arıkan, Kutluk Bilge; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-11)
This thesis presents the modelling and design of a family of exoskeleton mechanisms to be used in post-stroke rehabilitation therapy. The mechanism in question is an exoskeleton worn on the index finger, and it aims to support the fingers of patients who have lost their mobility after paralysis, like a physiotherapist, and to improve motor learning in the patient in this process. Based on motor learning principles, an underactuated mechanism design has been created for this purpose, allowing the patient to ...
Fabrication of a multi-layered decellularized amniotic membranes as tissue engineering constructs
Yuksel, Sumeyye; Asik, Mehmet Dogan; AYDIN, HALİL MURAT; Tönük, Ergin; Aydin, Emin Yusuf; Bozkurt, Murat (2022-02-01)
As a promising approach in tissue engineering, decellularization has become one of the mostly-studied research areas in tissue engineering thanks to its potential to bring about several advantages over synthetic materials since it can provide a 3-dimensional ECM structure with matching biomechanical properties of the target tissue. Amniotic membranes are the tissues that nurture the embryos during labor. Similarly, these materials have also been proposed for tissue regeneration in several applications. The ...
