The main fields of operation for Metallurgical and Materials Engineering are production of engineering materials, defining and improving their features, as well as developing new materials to meet the expectations at every aspect of life and the users from these aspects. Founded in 2004 and graduated its 10th-semester alumni in 2018, our Department also obtained MÜDEK accreditation in the latter year. Offering the opportunity to hold an internationally valid diploma through the accreditation in question, our Department has highly qualified and experienced Academic Staff. Many of the courses offered at our Department are supported with various practice sessions, and internship studies in summer. This way, we help our students become better-equipped engineers for their future professional lives. With the Cooperative Education curriculum that entered into effect in 2019, students may volunteer to work at contracted companies for a period of six months with no extensions to their period of study.

Abstract

The biocompatibility of electrospun PVA with monolayer graphene obtained by chemical vapor deposition (PVA/CVD-grown MLG) nanocomposite was investigated. The properties of PVA/ CVD-grown MLG nanocomposite were compared with those of electrospun PVA mat. Raman analysis confirmed the presence of graphene monolayer on PVA. Although no significant changes in tensile properties were observed, the electrical conductivity increased from 0.1 (PVA mat) to 0.4 mu S/cm (PVA/ CVD-grown MLG). Thermal stability was also increased, as evidenced by the higher onset temperature and temperature of maximum decomposition rate determined by TGA. The contact angle decreased slightly, which resulted in higher PBS absorption and degradation of the nanocomposite. Water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) decreased from 40 (PVA mat) to 37 g/m2 h (PVA/CVD-grown MLG). Cell culture studies showed better cell viability, population, and growth in the case of PVA/CVD-grown MLG nanocomposite due to improved physical, chemical and mechanical properties.
