In this study, new surfaces for pencil graphite electrodes with high stability, high surface area and highly catalytic activity were developed by coating them firstly with polydopamine, then with gold and silver nanoparticles. ...

The detection of air purifier or air pollution is very important step to take necessary precautions to prevent infections. Nowadays, partical measuring and passive air sampling methods are widely used to detect air pollution ...

This study aims to improve antibacterial titanium coating which enhanced osseointegration at the same time. Titanium (Ti) substrates covered with antibacterial polyethylene oxide (PEO) fibers which have functionalized with ...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suffers up to 1% of the world's population, affecting females to a greater extent (3–5 fold) than males. RA mainly affects joints, also has systematic effects on body. The most commonly performed ...

Axonal elongation of neuronal cells is the most important subject considered in nerve tissue enginering. In this regard, cell guiding aligned nanofibers play an important role in directing of neurite outgrowth. In recent ...

The aim of the present study is to investigate in-vitro osteogenic potential of mesenchymal stem cells, isolated from two different sources (bone marrow and adipose tissue), on boron doped hydroxyapatite (HAp) coated ...

Foot and mouth disease (FMD), which is common among double-hoofed animals, is a viral and very contagious disease having a major importance in economic terms. Seen in countries as Turkey, where the disease is endemic, ...

Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) surface was coated with cellulose acetate fiber via electrospinning method for increasing the surface area. It is expected to increase the sensitivity of mass sensitive immunosensor prepared ...
