Organizational Unit
Metallurgical and Materials Engineering
(2004)
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 aim Of this Study is the development of novel cell Support materials for fibroblast cell cultivation by using low-pressure plasma assisted treatment. Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) membranes were prepared by solvent-casting technique. The plasma assisted treatment was focused oil generating a nano-topography and obtaining COOH functionalities oil the Surface of the membranes. The immobilization of biomolecules onto the PCL membranes was realized after the plasma treatment, The membranes prepared were characterized by various methods before and after the biomodification. L929 mouse fibroblasts were used for cell Culture evaluation. The prominent roles Of Surface nano-topography and carboxylic groups generated by the plasma in obtaining better cell growth on PCL Surfaces are highlighted in this study.
