Publication Metadata only Preparation and drug release properties of lignin-starch biodegradable films(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2012) OGAN, AYŞE; Calgeris, Ilker; Cakmakci, Emrah; Ogan, Ayse; Kahraman, M. Vezir; Kayaman-Apohan, NilhanStarch is one of the most commonly available natural polymers which are obtained from agro-sources. It is renewable and abundant in nature. Unfortunately due to its poor mechanical properties and hygroscopic nature, there are some strong limitations to the development of starch-based products. Usually blends of starch are prepared and plasticized with glycerol to improve some of its properties. In this study, lignin was extracted from hazelnut shells and investigated as a potential additive for starch biofilms. The structural characterization of hazelnut lignin was performed by employing UV spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Lignin was blended with corn starch in different ratios to obtain biofilms. Mechanical and thermal properties of the biofilms were enhanced as the lignin amount was increased in the formulations. Water absorption tests were performed at pH 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0. The percent swelling values of the starch/lignin films increased as pH increased. Also, the biofilm exhibiting the best properties was chosen for the drug release studies. Biofilms showed a fast ciprofloxacin (CPF) release within an hour and then the drug release rate decreased. A pH dependent drug release mechanism was also observed according to KoshnerPeppas model. The drug release increased with a decrease in pH.Publication Metadata only Preparation and characterization of boron containing thiol-ene photocured hybrid coatings(ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2012) ÇAKMAKÇI, EMRAH; Cakmakci, Emrah; Mulazim, Yusuf; Kahraman, Memet Vezir; Apohan, Nilhan KayamanIn this study, flame retardant, 4-vinylphenyl boronic acid containing coatings were prepared by thiol-ene polymerization. The photopolymerization kinetics of thiol-ene based formulations was investigated by real time infrared spectroscopy. The experiments showed that as the amount of boronic acid was increased, flame retardant properties of the coatings were also increased. Tensile test results showed that boronic acid groups strengthened the polymeric network. DSC results revealed that the addition of thiol causes Tg values of the coatings to decrease. On the other hand acid groups improved the hydrophilicity of the coatings. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

The effect of the addition of optimal amount of fluorine-containing silane compound (FAS) on the surface and adhesion properties were also investigated. The morphology, structure, and elemental chemical composition of the coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy dispersion spectrum (SEM/EDAX), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. Moreover, several properties of the coatings such as cross-cut adhesion, hardness, gloss, and contact angle (CA) were determined. When fluorine was introduced, the pencil hardness was increased to 6H. Fluorinated non-stick ceramic coatings were found to have good adhesion on the aluminum substrates [GRAPHICS] Sol-gel-based non-stick ceramic coatings were prepared. Coatings were applied onto aluminum substrates and were thermally cured. Ceramic coatings exhibited good adhesion.Publication Metadata only Flame retardant thiol-ene photocured coatings(ELSEVIER, 2011) ÇAKMAKÇI, EMRAH; Cakmakci, Emrah; Mulazim, Yusuf; Kahraman, Memet Vezir; Apohan, Nilhan KayamanThe low polymerization tendency of allyl compounds can be enhanced by thiol-ene polymerization systems. In this study. allyldiphenyl phosphine oxide (ADPPO) containing thiol-ene based photocured coatings were prepared with the aim to improve their final thermal and flame retardant properties. The photopolymerization kinetics of thiol-ene based formulations were investigated by real-time infrared spectroscopy. The incorporation of ADPPO into the polymer chains was confirmed by monitoring the conversion of acrylate double bonds and measuring the gel content of the crosslinked films. The experiments showed that as the amount of ADPPO was increased, thermal and flame retardant properties of the coatings were also increased. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

A poly ( -hydroxy ester) based urethane acrylate oligomer was synthesized and a photocurable acrylic based formulation was prepared. Salt particles were introduced to the formulation, which was then poured into cylindrical molds and cured under UV irradiation. Porous scaffolds were obtained after salt leaching. 3T3 cells seeded on the UV cured scaffolds and it was found that cells were well spread on the collagen modified scaffold surface. It can be concluded that the scaffolds provided an effective physical support that allows cell adhesion and proliferation.
