    Electrospun TiO2/ZnO/PAN hybrid nanofiber membranes with efficient photocatalytic activity
    (ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2017) Yar, Adem; Haspulat, Bircan; Ustun, Tugay; Eskizeybek, Volkan; Avci, Ahmet; Kamis, Handan; Achour, Slimane
    Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were decorated with TiO2, ZnO and TiO2/ZnO nanoparticles for the first time to prepare flexible multifunctional nanofibrous membranes. First, the arc-discharge process was utilized to prepare TiO2, ZnO and TiO2/ZnO nanoparticles and then the hybrid electrospun nanofibers were spun from PAN/nanoparticle colloids. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were utilized to characterize the resulting nanoparticles and nanofiber loaded nanoparticles. The microscopic investigations revealed that the specifically TiO2 nanoparticles tend to agglomerate within the PAN nanofiber resulting increased surface roughness; however, ZnO nanorods with 1D morphology are aligned as parallel to the fiber axis. Photocatalytic activity of the hybrid nanofibers was performed by pursuing the degradation of malachite green (MG) dye under UV light irradiation. The fabricated TiO2/ZnO/PAN hybrid nanofibers showed excellent photocatalytic efficiency with at least two times higher reaction rates compared to the bare PAN nanofibers. The results suggest that the photocatalytically active TiO2/ZnO/PAN hybrid nanofibers can be considered as filtering materials for a variety of applications in the fields of wastewater systems without the need of post processing stages for separating catalysts from the liquid medium.

    Modification of cellulose acetate nanofibers with PVP/Ag addition
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2014) Kendouli, S.; Khalfallah, O.; Sobti, Nadjah; Bensouissi, A.; Avcı, Ahmet; Eskizeybek, Volkan; Achour, Slimane
    in this work cellulose acetate (CA) nanostructures were synthesized using electrospinning process. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using silver nitrate as the starting precursor, ethanol as solvent and polyvinyl pyrolydone (PVP) as capping agent. The Ag NPs were added to the cellulose acetate (CA) nanostructures before and after CA electrospinning. The obtained CA and Ag-CA composite were characterized by various techniques such as, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman Spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). It was found that Ag NPs can be effectively coated on or embedded into the electrospun CA and the PVP can lead to noticeable change in morphology and structure. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

    Physical deposition of carbon doped titanium nitride film by DC magnetron sputtering for metallic implant coating use
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2014) Sedira, Sofiane; Achour, Slimane; Avci, Ahmet; Eskizeybek, Volkan
    Alloys exposed to tissue environment are at risk to corrosive breakdown. The corrosion behaviour of carbon doped titanium nitride films was studied. The C-TiN films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering. The obtained films were investigated to be used as protective layers for medical implants. The films were analysed using XRD, SEM with EDX, FTIR, Raman, UV-vis and potentiodynamic polarization. Analysis indicated that doping with carbon in low concentration led to form titanium carbide. The measured values of corrosion current densities (I-corr, (substrate) = 2.020 mu A/cm(2), I-corr, (coating) = 0.175 mu A/cm(2)) indicate that the deposited films improved the corrosion resistance of the pure titanium. Comparison between the corrosion current densities of two samples (uncoated and coated pure titanium) showed a reduction of 91% in corrosion current density for coated Ti compared to the uncoated one.
