Yayın Reordering of polystyrene gel due to multiple swelling in organic vapor fast transient fluorescence technique study(Elsevier Science SA, 2006-07-31) Erdoğan, Matem; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderReordering of disc-shaped polystyrene (PS) gels due to multiple swelling, under organic vapor was studied by using Fast Transient Fluorescence (FTRF) technique. Disc-sbaped polystyrene gels were prepared by free radical copolymerization (FRC) of styrene (S) with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM) as a crosslinker. Pyrene (P) was introduced as a fluorescence probe during polymerization. Swelling experiments were performed by using P doped PS gels under chloroform vapor. After each swelling step, gels were left to dry in an oven at 30 degrees C for consecutive reswelling experiments. Decay curves of P were measured and pyrene lifetimes, tau, were determined. It was observed that tau values decreased as swelling recycles were repeated. It was observed that after the fifth swelling step, two different regimes appeared in the swelling processes in PS gels. Swelling time constant, tau(c), and cooperative diffusion coefficients, D-c were determined by using Li-Tanaka equation for each swelling step in both regimes. It was observed that D-c values decreased up to tenth swelling step and then remained unchanged in both regimes.Yayın Study on swelling of hydrogels (PAAm) at various temperatures by using fluorescence technique(Springer US, 2007-10) Kaya Aktaş, Demet; Akın Evingür, Gülşen; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderSteady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique was employed for studying swelling of polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels. Disc-shaped gels were prepared by free-radical crosslinking copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm) with N, N'- methylenebis (acrylamide) (BIS) as crosslinker in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator. Pyranine was introduced as a fluorescence probe. Fluorescence intensity of pyranine was measured during in situ swelling process at various temperatures and it was observed that fluorescence intensity values decreased as swelling is proceeded. Li-Tanaka equation was used to determine the swelling time constants, tau(c) and cooperative diffusion coefficients, D-c from intensity, weight and volume variations during the swelling processes. It is observed that swelling time constants, tau(c) decreased and diffusion coefficients, D-c increased as the swelling temperature is increased. The swelling activation energies, Delta E were measured from the intensity, weight and volume variations and found to be 10.7, 32.2 and 64.1 kJ mol(-1), respectively.Yayın Drying of PAAm hydrogels at various temperatures: A fluorescence study(Taylor & Francis Group, 2007-05) Aktaş, Demet Kaya; Evingür, Gülşen Akın; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThe steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique was employed for studying the drying of polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels. Disc-shaped hydrogels were prepared by free-radical crosslinking copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm) with N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide (BIS) as crosslinker in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator. Pyranine (P) was introduced as a fluorescence probe and the intensity of pyranine was monitored during in situ drying at various temperatures. It was observed that the fluorescence intensity of pyranine increased during the drying process. A supporting, gravimetrical experiment was also performed. A phenomenological equation was introduced to determine the desorption coefficient, D, of water molecules from the drying hydrogels at various temperatures. The desorption activation energy, triangle E-d, values were measured for the drying processes and found to be 91.08 and 36.82 kJ mol(-1) by fluorescence and gravimetrical methods, respectively. This difference most probably originates from the origin of the techniques; the fluorescence technique measures the parameters at a molecular level, whereas the gravimetrical technique measures a parameter in the bulk.Yayın Sorption and slow release kinetics of PAAM gels at various temperatures(Freund Publishing House Ltd, 2007-11) Akın Evingür, Gülşen; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderSmall molecule sorption and slow release in and out of polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels were studied by using steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique. Pyranine (P-y) dissolved in water used as a probe. Fluorescence emission intensity, I-p from P-y was used to monitor for studying sorption and slow release processes at various temperatures. Sorption and slow release processes were analyzed by using Fickian diffusion model and coefficients were obtained. Related activation energies were also calculated for the corresponding physical processes.Yayın Film formation from PS latex doped PNIPAM hydrogels at various heating and cooling rates(VSP BV, Brill Academic Publishers, 2008-05-01) Uğur, Şaziye; Yargı, Önder; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderFilm formation from polystrene (PS) latex doped poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogels was studied by using photon transmission technique. The transmitted light intensity, It, was monitored during film formation process. Films were prepared by annealing, 10 wt% PS doped PNIPAM particles at five different heating and cooling rates at temperatures ranging from 10 to 100 degrees C. I-tr presented a hysteresis loops during heating-cooling cycles, which were explained by void closure and void reconstruction processes. The corresponding activation energies were measured during reversible film formation process. Void closure and void reconstruction models were introduced to produce the activation energies.Yayın Eco-friendly bacterial cellulose/castor oil hydrogels: physicochemical behavior and biocompatibility(Sakarya University, 2025-10-27) Işıkçı Koca, Elif; Pınar, Orkun; Yalçın Çapan, Özlem; Çaylı, Gökhan; Kazan, Dilek; Çakır Hatır, PınarIn the present work, novel thermoresponsive hydrogels were developed from renewable resources, and the influence of bacterial cellulose molar ratio on their chemical structure, thermal properties, swelling behavior, morphology, and biocompatibility was systematically investigated. The hydrogels were fabricated using castor oil, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, bacterial cellulose, Nisopropylacrylamide, and N,N'-Methylenebisacrylamide. Structural and physicochemical characterizations were performed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The highest equilibrated swelling degree was achieved as 592.6% at the maximum bacterial cellulose content. SEM images revealed that the formation of spongy architecture is caused by the increase in the bacterial cellulose content. In vitro biocompatibility studies revealed that the hydrogel with the highest bacterial cellulose content exhibited the greatest cytocompatibility, with an IC50 value of 11.16 mg/ml. Overall, the findings demonstrate the successful fabrication of a novel bio-based thermoresponsive hydrogel through an eco-friendly approach, highlighting its potential for diverse biomedical applications.
