Stimuli responsive drug delivery systems have emerged as one of the most innovative classes of polymer materials of modern materials science. The polymer architectures exhibiting a large change in their physico chemical behaviors in response to minor signals from the environment…
Hydrogels are attractive materials for uses in regenerative medicine due to their biocompatibility and high water absorbance and retention properties. Applications are emerging in stem cell niches, biopolymers and synthetic polymers for tissue scaffolding, wound healing and hydr…
Man lubricates mostly with oil. Nature lubricates exclusively with water. Pure water is a poor lubricant, but the addition of proteins, especially glycoproteins, can modify surfaces to make them far more lubricating at slow speeds. Understanding how nature does this, and the phy…

Hydrogels are a type of polymer which, through a range of chemistries, can be manipulated to alter and control the hydrogel's interactions with cells and tissues. Due to their significant water content, hydrogels possess a degree of flexibility similar to natural tissue. This bo…
Hydrogels are very important for biomedical applications because they can be chemically manipulated to alter and control the hydrogel's interaction with cells and tissues. Their flexibility and high water content is similar to that of natural tissue, making them extremely suitab…
Throughout human history, innovation has always met society's needs. In most recent decades, the human population has turned its attention indoors, where people spend almost 90% of their time, over half of which is spent looking at a screen. During this time spent inside, the on…
Molecular self-assembly provides a simple and efficient route of constructing well-defined nanostructures which may serve as extra cellular matrix (ECM) mimics. This work focuses on two specific octapeptides: FEFEFKFK and FEFKFEFK (F: phenylalanine, E: glutamic acid, K: lysine) …
The ECM is a very complex, heterogeneous mixture of proteins, peptides, and hormones, which has proven difficult to model in vitro. Currently, a number of model substrates and systems have been developed utilizing polymers, layer-by-layer methods, and self-assembled monolayers (…
Günümüzün en yaygın sağlık problemlerinden biri doku kaybı, yaralanması ve zedelenmesidir. Birçok hasta uygun doku nakli için beklemektedir. Aynı hastadan doku alıp yine o hastaya emplante etmek veya ölü bir canlıdan doku alıp hastaya emplante etmenin ekonomik olmaması, bağışçı …
Jelatin – metakrilamid hidrojellerin doğal polimerler ile 3 boyutlu yazıcılar kullanılarak üretilen yumuşak doku uygulamaları, deri rejenerasyonu açısından büyük potansiyel taşımaktadır. Bu tez çalışmasında, doku yapılarını taklit eden yapay bir yapı oluşturmak için jelatin ile …
"This book explores the potential of hydrogels as a multi-utility system and their benefits (biocompatibility, degradability, and supporting scaffolds) for a wide range of applications in diagnostics and therapeutics. It also discusses the future prospects and challenges in tran…
