Silk fibroin (SF) gained attention in tissue engineering applications owing to its unique properties including biocompatibility, high strength and ability to control its porous structure. The aim of this study was to fabricate 3D SF scaffolds having an optimum porous structure to provide sufficient mechanical properties while allowing proliferation of cells for enhanced tissue regeneration. To achieve this, effect of various fabrication parameters on SF scaffold characteristics, mainly the pore morphology and pore size, on mechanical and biological properties was investigated. Specifically, dissolution time of raw SF in salt solution, dialysis temperature, freezing rate and freezing temperature of SF solutions were optimized for detailed scaffold characterization.

Seismic isolation of foundations by composite liners Kalpakçı, Volkan; Özkan, M. Yener; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) In this research, the dynamic behavior of a seismic isolation system composed of high strength geotextile placed over an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) geomembrane (together called as composite liner) beneath the structure is investigated experimentally. The results of the shaking table experiments which were performed on model structures both under harmonic and modified earthquake motions with and without the seismic isolation (composite liner system), are presented in the thesis. The ma...
3D porous bioceramic based boron-doped hydroxyapatite/baghdadite composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering Jodati, Hossein; Evis, Zafer; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Alshemary, Ammar Z.; Motameni, Ali (2023-04-01) Making composite scaffolds is one of the well-known methods to improve the properties of scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering. In this study, novel ceramic-based 3D porous composite scaffolds were successfully prepared using boron-doped hydroxyapatite, as the primary component, and baghdadite, as the secondary component. The effects of making composites on the properties of boron-doped hydroxyapatite-based scaffolds were investigated in terms of physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties. T...
Nonlinear behaviour and stress concentrations in natural fiber composites under transverse loading Çakmakçı, Onur; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Sabuncuoğlu, Barış; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) Natural fiber reinforced polymer composite materials attracted attention of the researchers recently. Some of them, especially flax fiber composites, do have quite favorable mechanical properties compared to synthetic fibers like E-glass. In this study, micromechanical model of flax fiber reinforced composite under transverse loading is investigated and compared with conventional synthetic fibers. The study includes variety of strains and response of the material under large deformations. Finite element mod...
Silver Nanowire/Chitosan Nanocomposite Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering with Enhanced Durability, Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Aksoy, Eda Ayşe; Şenel, Sevda; Doğanay, Doğa (null; 2018-11-25) We report on a successful scaffold based tissue engineering approach that aims to facilitate maximal cell seeding efficiency and subsequent cell proliferation using durable scaffolds with interconnected porosity with high surface area per volume and enhanced mechanical strength, durability. Among the biopolymers chitosan, which is a biodegradable, biocompatible cationic polysaccharide exerting bioactive properties (eg.antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, hemostatic immunostimulatory etc) provides several advan...
Hydrothermal synthesis of TiO₂ nanostructures for photocatalitic and photovoltaic applications Erdoğan, Nursev; Öztürk, Abdullah; Park, Jongee; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures with different crystal structures and various morphologies were synthesized by hydrothermal process to utilize them in photocatalytic and photovoltaic applications. The investigations were conducted in three different sets of systematic experimental studies. The first set of experiments was based on the synthesis of TiO2 nanostructures in the presence of strong sodium hydroxide (NaOH) catalyzer. Temperature and molarity of NaOH were kept constant while hydrothermal rea...
