    Aerosol filtration performance of nanofibrous mats produced via electrically assisted industrial-scale solution blowing
    (Wiley, 2021) Gungor, Melike; Toptas, Ali; Calisir, Mehmet Durmus; Kilic, Ali
    Highly efficient polyamide 6 (PA6)-based nanofibrous air filter media was developed for particulate matter (PM) removal in the ambient atmosphere. The PA6 nanofibrous mats exhibited 85% PM0.3 capture performance at a cost of 164 Pa pressure drop when the multiple-nozzle solution blowing system was set to 8 m/h fabric winding speed. However, an increase in the winding speed at a constant feeding rate lowered the filtration efficiency to 62% due to the less amount of nanofibrous mats collected on the substrate. The application of electrical field at the same parameters allowed us to produce a filter media having FFP3-level filtration performance, which means 99% PM0.3 capture performance. This was attributed to a fine fiber diameter (116 nm), higher solidity value (0.149), and lower average pore size (2.28 mu m). These results show that the electrically assisted solution blowing provides a feasible route for the production of high-quality nanofibrous filter media.

    Centrifugally spun hydroxyapatite/carbon composite nanofiber scaffolds for bone tissue engineering
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Akgul, Yasin; Stojanovska, Elena; Calisir, Mehmet Durmus; Polat, Yusuf; Kilic, Ali
    In recent years, advancements in tissue engineering have demonstrated the potential to expedite bone matrix formation, leading to shorter recovery times and decreased clinical challenges compared to conventional methods. Therefore, this study aims to develop composite carbon nanofibers (CNFs) integrated with nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) particles as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. A key strategy in achieving this objective involves harnessing nanofibrous structures, which offer a high surface area, coupled with nHA particles expected to accelerate bone regeneration and enhance biological activity. To realize this, polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/nHA nanofibers were fabricated using the centrifugal spinning (C-Spin) technique and subsequently carbonized to yield CNF/nHA composite structures. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) confirmed C-Spin as a suitable method for PAN and CNF nanofiber production, with nHA particles uniformly dispersed throughout the nanofibrous structure. Carbonization resulted in reduced fiber diameter due to thermal decomposition and shrinkage of PAN molecules during the process. Furthermore, the incorporation of nHA particles into PAN lowered the stabilization temperature (by 5 degrees C-20 degrees C). Tensile tests revealed that PAN samples experienced an approximately 80% increase in ultimate tensile strength and a 187% increase in modulus with a 5 wt.% nHA loading. However, following carbonization, CNF samples exhibited a 50% decrease in strength compared to PAN samples. Additionally, the addition of nHA into CNF improved the graphitic structure. The incorporation of nHA particles into the spinning solution represents a viable strategy for enhancing CNF bioactivity.

    Production of Ultrafine PVDF Nanofiber-/Nanonet-Based Air Filters via the Electroblowing Technique by Employing PEG as a Pore-Forming Agent
    (Amer Chemical Soc, 2023) Toptas, Ali; Calisir, Mehmet Durmus; Kilic, Ali
    Particles with diameters smaller than 2.5 mu m (PM2.5) can penetrate the respiratory system and have negative impacts on human health. Filter media with a porous surface and nanofiber/nanonet structure demonstrate superior filtration performance compared to traditional nano- and microfiber-based filters. In this study, nanostructured filters were produced using the electroblowing method from solutions containing different ratios of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers for the first time. By increasing the water-soluble PEG ratio in PVDF/PEG blend nanofibers and employing a water bath treatment to the produced mat afterward, a more porous fibrous structure was obtained with a lower average fiber diameter. Notably, the removal of PEG from the PVDF/PEG (3-7) sample, which had the highest PEG content, exhibited clustered nanofiber-/nanonet-like structures with average diameters of 170 and 50 nm at the points where the fibers intersect. Although this process resulted in a slight decrease in the filtration efficiency (-1.3%), the significant reduction observed in pressure drop led to a 3.2% increase in the quality factor (QF). Additionally, by exploiting the polarizability of PVDF under an electric field, the filtration efficiency of the nanostructured PVDF filters enhanced with a ratio of 3.6% after corona discharge treatment leading to a 60% improvement in the QF. As a result, the PVDF/PEG (3-7) sample presented an impressive filtration efficiency of 99.57%, a pressure drop (Delta P) of 158 Pa, and a QF of 0.0345 Pa-1.
