Biomimicry of multifunctional nanostructures in the neck feathers of mallard (Anas platyrhynchos L.) drakes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-04-22)Biological systems serve as fundamental sources of inspiration for the development of artificially colored devices, and their investigation provides a great number of photonic design opportunities. While several successful ... -
In vitro biocompatibility of plasma-aided surface-modified 316L stainless steel for intracoronary stents
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2010)316L-type stainless steel is a raw material mostly used for manufacturing metallic coronary stents. The purpose of this study was to examine the chemical, wettability, cytotoxic and haemocompatibility properties of 316L ... -
Organically modified silica nanostructures based functional coatings for practical applications
(Bilkent University, 2015)In the past decades, the fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces have received considerable attention due to the variety of potential applications ranging from biology to industry. Although significant progress has been ... -
Property enhancement in polypropylene ternary blend nanocomposites via a novel poly(ethylene oxide)-grafted polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene/butylene)-block-polystyrene toughener-compatibilizer system
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)Synthesis and characterization of a novel toughener-compatibilizer for polypropylene (PP)-montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were conducted to provide enhanced mechanical and thermal properties. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) ... -
Robust cassie state of wetting in transparent superhydrophobic coatings
(American Chemical Society, 2014)This paper investigates the stability of the Cassie state of wetting in transparent superhydrophobic coatings by comparing a single-layer microporous coating with a double-layer micro/nanoporous coating. Increasing pressure ... -
Time-related wettability characteristic of acrylic resin surfaces treated by glow discharge
(Elsevier, 1999-12)STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Adhesion and cohesion have important roles in denture retention, and attempts have been made to improve the wettability of the acrylic resin material by surface treatments. PURPOSE: This study examined ... -
Tribological transfer of polytetrafluoroethylene onto silicon oxide and polymer surfaces
(Bilkent University, 2015)The main objective of this study is to understand the nature of tribological transfer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) onto counter thermally-oxidized silicon, polystyrene (PS), polyvinylchloride (PVC) and poly(methyl ... -
Understanding the plasmonic properties of dewetting formed Ag nanoparticles for large area solar cell applications
(Optical Society of American (OSA), 2013)The effects of substrates with technological interest for solar cell industry are examined on the plasmonic properties of Ag nanoparticles fabricated by dewetting technique. Both surface matching (boundary element) and ...
