"Effect of nitrogen on the antibacterial behavior of oxynitride glasses", Ceramics International, Vol. 47, No. 13, pp. 18213-18217.Effect of nitrogen on the antibacterial behavior of oxynitride glasses(2021) Akın, Şeniz R. Kuşhan; Dölekçekiç, Emrah; Webster, Thomas J.; 22421The main drawback of bioglasses is their restricted use in load bearing applications and the consequent need to develop stronger glassy materials. This has led to the consideration of oxynitride glasses for numerous biomedical applications. This paper investigated two different types of glasses at a constant cationic ratio, with and without nitrogen (a N containing and a N-free glass composition) to better understand the effect of N on the biological properties of glasses. The results revealed that the addition of N increased the glass transition temperature, isoelectric point (IEP) and slightly increased wettability. Moreover, compared to N including glass, N-free glass exhibited better anti-bacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), two key bacteria that infect implants. In summary, these in vitro results indicated that amine functional groups existing in N containing glasses which are missing in N-free glasses, caused a slight difference in wetting behavior and a more obvious change in isoelectric point and in bacterial response. N-free glasses exhibited better inhibitory results both against E. coli and S. aureus compared to N including glass suggesting that oxygen rich glasses should be further studied for their novel antibacterial properties.Article Citation Count: Akin, Seniz Reyhan Kushan...et al (2017). "Effect of SiC addition on the thermal diffusivity of SiAlON ceramics", Ceramics International, Vol.43, No.16, pp.13469-13474.Effect of SiC addition on the thermal diffusivity of SiAlON ceramics(Elsevier SCI LTD, 2017) Kuşhan Akın, Seniz Reyhan; Turan, Servet; Gençoğlu, Pervin; Mandal, Hasan; 224219Despite the fact that thermal conductivity is a crucial parameter for SiAlON ceramics with respect to their suitability in various applications, including high-temperature structural components, wear parts, and cutting tools, studies on SiAlON ceramics reported thus far mainly focus on the improvement of their mechanical properties. In view of the lack of sufficient studies on the thermal conductivity of SiAlON ceramics, this study investigates the improvement in the thermal diffusivity behaviour of SiAlON ceramics by the addition of highly conductive SiC particles. As solid-solution SiAlON ceramics exhibit complex crystal structures typically composed of defects, the phonon scattering increases, subsequently decreasing diffusivity. In particular, the improvement in the thermal diffusivity of both alpha- and beta-SiAlONs was investigated by the addition of 0.25 wt% SiC. In addition, the effect of the SiC particle size on the thermal diffusivity of beta-SiAlON was examined. Using inverse diffusivity data, intrinsic and extrinsic scattering parameters were determined, and compared to intrinsic scattering, extrinsic scattering was a dominant factor. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of SiCp-reinforced a and -beta-SiAlON ceramics were recorded to examine the SiC particle distribution.Article Citation Count: Kuşhan Akın, Şeniz Reyhan...et al.
