ÖgeNanocomposite scaffolds containing metal nanoparticles(Graduate School, 2020-09-23) Aktürk, Ayşen ; Göller, Gültekin ; 506112413 ; Metallurgical and Materials Engineering ; Metalurji ve Malzeme MühendisliğiNowadays metal–polymer nanocomposites are the subject of increased interest due to their potential to combine the features of polymers with inorganic materials. Specifically, the combination of a natural polymer (biopolymer) and metal nanoparticles is highly appealing because of the individual antibacterial activity of the metal nanoparticle components, and the possibility to generate a biodegradable and biocompatible composite. The bioactivity of composites can be achieved by using bioactive inorganics such as hydroxyapatite, bioactive glasses. This study aims to combine metal-polymer-bioactive glass to fabricate new nanocomposite materials by using electrospinning method. For this purpose, polymer solutions containing bioactive glass (45S5) particles and/or metal nanoparticles (silver and copper nanoparticles) were prepared and then, they were electrospun into nanofibers under the relevant process conditions (i.e., solution concentration, applied voltage, tip-to-collector distance, flow rate, and etc.). Gelatin as a natural polymer and poly (Ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as synthetic polymers were employed in the experimental studies. Bioactive glass used in this study was fabricated by classical melt-derived method, while copper and silver nanoparticles were prepared by using biopolymers (soluble starch and sodium alginate) as the capping agents. Membranes were produced with a certain fiber diameter by using Box-Behnken design, which is a statistical experimental design method and characterization studies of these membranes were carried out.The crystalline structure of the produced bioactive glasses and metal nanoparticles were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Moreover, the surface morphology and the crystalline structure of the electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds were examined by the help of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Changes in the structures of the obtained nanoparticles and membranes were detected by using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed to determine the thermal behavior of nanofiber membranes and copper nanoparticles. Furthermore, the in vitro degradation behavior of the scaffolds were investigated by using simulated body fluid (SBF). In addition, the bioactivity and the biocompatibility of the nanofibrous scaffolds were also investigated through in-vitro bioactivity tests and cell culture studies. Moreover, the antibacterial or antifungal effects of the obtained nanoparticles and membranes were determined. Finally, therapeutic ions release from the nanofibrous scaffolds were investigated by using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). As a result of all these characterization studies, it was concluded that the nanofiber membranes obtained in this study have a potential for tissue engineering applications.
