Surface modification of tantalum via anodization for orthopedic applications Uslu, Ece; Ercan, Batur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020) Tantalum has excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties suitable for orthopedic applications. However, tantalum exhibits bioinert characteristics and cannot promote desired level of osseointegration with juxtaposed bone tissue. To enhance bioactivity of tantalum, nanoscale surface modification via anodization could be a potential approach. In this study, tantalum foils were modified to obtain surface features with different morphologies, i.e. nanotubular, nanodimple, nanoporous and nanocoral, ...
Surface modification of polyurethanes with covalent immobilization of heparin AKSOY, AYŞEGÜL; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2007-10-04) Thrombus formation and blood coagulation is a major problem associated with blood contacting products such as catheters, vascular grafts, arteries, artificial hearts and heart valves. An intense research is being conducted towards the synthesis of new hemocompatible materials and modifications of surfaces with biological molecules. In this study, polyurethane (PU) films were synthesized in medical purity from diisocyanate and polyol without using any other ingredients and their surfaces were modified by cov...
Surface modification of multi-crystalline silicon in photovoltaic cell by laser texturing Radfar, Behrad; Turan, Raşit; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2019) Surface of crystalline silicon solar cell plays an important role in its performance. It affects the optical properties which can be determined by surface’ reflectance. To minimize the reflection from the flat surface, thus, improve light trapping, the crystalline silicon wafers must be textured. Through the texturing process, roughness is introduced at the surface, so the incident light has a larger probability of being absorbed into the solar cell. Monocrystalline silicon solar cells can typically be text...
