    Design and characterization of polycaprolactone-gelatin-graphene oxide scaffolds for drug influence on glioblastoma cells
    (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2019) ATASOY, BESTE MELEK; Unal, Semra; Arslan, Sema; Gokce, Tilbe; Atasoy, Beste Melek; Karademir, Betul; Oktar, Faik Nuzhet; Gunduz, Oguzhan
    Three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds that mimic in vivo tumor microenvironments can be used to study tumor response to anticancer treatments, since most preclinical combination treatment strategy for anti-glioma were evaluated with traditional 2D cell culture. In this research, the nanofiber scaffolds of polycaprolactone (PCL) containing gelatin (Gel) nano/microparticles coated with different concentrations of graphene oxide (GO) and were successfully produced by combining electrospinning and electrospraying techniques. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and mechanical testing were used to characterize the structure and properties of the composites. The results show that gelatin and graphene particles can be well dispersed in the polycaprolactone nanofiber matrix by using the combination technique of electrospinning and electrospraying. The presence of 1 wt% graphene oxide increased mechanical strength of PCL/Gel scaffold and was found to be well consistent with the drug treatments (temozolomide and bortezomib) and radiotherapy by not showing additional toxicity.

    Effects of Polymethylsilsesquioxane concentration on morphology shape of electrosprayed particles
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018) OKTAR, FAİK NÜZHET; Unal, Semra; Oktar, Faik Nuzhet; Gunduz, Oguzhan
    The investigation of unique sizes and shapes as they relate to various properties has become a great study for large field applications. Polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) particles are produced by electrospraying. Morphology of the electrosprayed particles develops from the needle-like to star-like particles by controlling the concentration of the polymer solution. Therefore, electrospraying process instead of conventional methods has opened up an alternative for the fabrication of particles by controlling with three main parameters (applied voltage, flow rate and concentration of the polymer) that are used to manipulate their morphologies during preparation.
