316L stainless steel is most commonly used biomaterials for cardiovascular stents. Despite its widespread use in clinics, bare stainless steel stents experience problems after implantation i.e. such as nickel ion release, corrosion and limited endothelial cell coverage due to its bioinert nature1. One way to overcome these challenges is to modify the surfaces of 316L stainless steel stents to possess nanofeatures, which can potentially limit nickel ion release and corrosion, while improving bioactivity of stainless steel2. In this study, nanostructures ranging from 25 nm to 250 nm in diameter were fabricated on 316L stainless steel via anodization. AFM root mean square roughness (rms) value for the unanodized sample was found to be 7.5 nm, while for anodized samples it was, 2.4 nm. Chemical analysis of the surfaces by XPS showed that anodized surfaces mainly composed of Fe2O3 and Cr (III) oxide. Also, the hydrophobicity of different surfaces was investigated by water contact angle analysis. In addition, the unanodized stainless steel had a contact angle of 57°, while anodized stainless steel with 30 nm diameter and anodized stainless steel with 150 nm diameters had contact angles of 96° and 98°, respectively. Importantly, in vitro testes showed that anodized stainless steel surfaces dramatically enhanced proliferation of osteoblast cells compared to control surface, which suggest its potential use as a biomaterial for vascular applications.

Preparation and characterization of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) scaffolds modified with cell-loaded fibrin gel
Malikmammadov, Elbay; Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2019-03-15)
Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) is one of the most commonly used polymers in the production of tissue engineered scaffolds for hard tissue treatments. Incorporation of cells into these scaffolds significantly enhances the healing rate of the tissue. In this study, PCL scaffolds were prepared by wet spinning technique and modified by addition of fibrinogen in order to form a fibrin network between the PCL fibers. By this way, scaffolds would have micro and nanofibers in their structures. Drying of the wet s...
Fabrication of micropit structures on Ti6Al4V alloy using fluoride-free anodization for orthopedic applications
Izmir, Merve; Ercan, Batur (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019-04-15)
Ti6Al4V alloy is commonly used in hip and knee replacements due to its high strength, ductility, wear, and corrosion resistance. Despite its optimal physical and chemical properties, Ti6Al4V based orthopedic implants have a limited lifetime of only 15-20 years. One of the main reasons for having limited lifetime is the suboptimal integration of Ti6Al4V implants with the juxtaposed bone tissue (osseointegration). To enhance osseointegration, and thus prolong the lifetime of orthopedic implants, Ti6Al4V impla...
Characterization of ultra-fine grained steel samples produced by high pressure torsion via magnetic barkhausen noise analysis
Bayramoğlu, Sadık; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009)
High Pressure Torsion (HPT) is one of the most widely used severe plastic deformation methods which enable to obtain a crack free ultra-fine grained bulk material with improved mechanical properties like increased strength and toughness. In the process, a disc shaped sample is pressed between two anvils and deformed via surface friction forces by rotating one of the anvils. The aim of this study is to nondestructively characterize the variations in the deformation uniformity of the severely deformed steel d...

Acrylic bone cements which are commonly used for the fixation of orthopedic prostheses, were prepared at different formulations, by using either ground poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles or homogeneously synthesized PMMA microspheres with application of plasma and addition of various ingredients in order to improve mechanical and thermal properties. PMMA powders having three different particle size (ground and sieved particles with 0-50 mu m (BC1 group, average particle size: 21 mu m) and 50-150 mu ...

The synthesis of ion-exchange resin which can be used in various separation and chemical purposes, such as diffusion dialysis, electro dialysis, electrolysis and fuel cells has of considerable interest. For all these applications, the interactions of the ionic groups and the resulted morphologies are critical for establishing the unique properties. Considerable researches have been continued to understand the microstructure of these materials. The aim of this study is to synthesize polypropylene (PP) based ...
