Seamless and robust alginate/gelatin coating on Ti-6Al-4V as a gap filling interphase

2022-04-01
Durable, biocompatible and interphases composed of interpenetrating network of alginate and gelatin (A/G) with long shelf-life were produced. Titanium implants were conditioned with acid:peroxide followed by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) etching. Surfaces were grafted with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) and optimized. It was hypothesized that interpenetrating network of A/G coated on Ti-APTES in the presence of 0.2 M sodium chloride could improve the adhesive strength and create a highly cohesive hydrogel interphase. Optimized A/G ratio and APTES grafting procedure allowed us to reproducibly produce a layer which resulted in a gap-filling, seamless and robust coating that can assume implant shape, maintain morphology and stay intact for a year at room temperature. Especially A/G 1:3 interphase coating (16.41 +/- 0.34 mu m) demonstrated good adhesion (1.28 +/- 0.32 N), water uptake (589% +/- 78), hydrolytic degradation (63 +/- 1%), low initial wettability in simulated body fluid, but demonstrated rapid methylene blue (MB) uptake (80% of drug within 1 h) and burst release (100% of MB within similar to 3 h), and favored osteoblast adhesion and proliferation over time. Furthermore, A/G 1:3 maintained integrity and showed minimal loss of strength over 12 months. Hence, A/G 1:3 interphase showed substantial potential to improve biofunctionality of bioinert implants.

Basceken, Sinan; Balcı, Metin (2015-04-17)
A concise synthetic methodology for new heterocyclic scaffolds, such as pyrazolo-pyrrolo-pyrazine and pyrazolo-pyrrolo-diazepine skeletons, was developed. The key features of this method include (i) synthesis of pyrrole-derived alpha,beta-alkynyl ketones, (ii) introduction of various substituents into the alkyne functionality by Sonogashira cross-coupling, (iii) synthesis of pyrazole units by the reaction of alpha,beta-alkynyl compounds with hydrazine monohydrate, (iv) gold-catalyzed cyclization of pyrazole...
Methacrylated gelatin hydrogels as corneal stroma substitutes: in vivo study
BEKTAŞ, CEMİLE; Burcu, Ayse; Gedikoglu, Gokhan; Telek, Hande H.; Ornek, Firdevs; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2019-09-20)
Methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) hydrogels were prepared to serve as corneal stroma equivalents. They were highly transparent (ca. 95% at 700 nm), mechanically strong and withstood handling and had high human corneal keratocyte viability (98%) after 21 days of culture period. In order to test the in vivo performance of the cell free GelMA hydrogels a pilot in vivo study was carried out using eyes of two white New Zealand rabbits. Hydrogel was implanted in a mid-stromal pocket created and without suture fixatio...
Electrodeposition and characterization of nickel/titanium carbide nanocomposites
Acet, Nurcan; Eroğlu Pala, Damla; Department of Chemical Engineering (2017)
Due to their high hardness, anti-corrosion and anti-wear properties, Nickel/ceramic particle composites have gained significant attention as environmentally-friendly alternatives to chromium and cadmium based coatings typically used in the aerospace industry. Electrodeposition of these Ni/ceramic particle composites has the advantage of lower operating cost and operating temperature than the conventional production methods. Incorporation of ceramic nanoparticles into the Ni matrix has a significant effect o...
Viscoelastic characteristics of chain extended/branched and linear polyethylene terephthalate resins
Yılmazer, Ülkü; Xanthos, M; Bayram, Göknur; Tan, V (Wiley, 2000-03-01)
Two chemically modified chain extended/branched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins and one unmodified resin, considered to be linear, were characterized in terms of their melt flow, die swell, and viscoelastic properties. The three resins had reportedly similar nominal intrinsic viscosities but exhibited different viscoelastic behavior. The modified resins had lower melt flow index, higher die swell, higher complex viscosity and higher storage modulus than the unmodified one. The Cole-Cole plots of the...
Cytotoxicity of 5-fluorouracil entrapped in gelatin microspheres
Muvaffak, A; Gurhan, I; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2004-05-01)
Gelatin microspheres were prepared by water/oil emulsion polymerization and by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. For the microsphere preparation procedure, two different gelatin (5 or 10% w/v) and three different glutaraldehyde (5, 0.5 or 0.1% v/v) concentrations were used. The influence of preparation compositions on microsphere recovery, particle size and morphology, swelling and degradation, 5-fluorouracil loading and release, and cytotoxicity were investigated. The concentrations of gelatin and glutara...
