    Investigation of Dielectric Constant and Electrical Conductivity of Poly(MA-co-MMA)/Ce(NO3)3 Composites by Response Surface Methodology for Advanced Dielectric Applications

    Torgut, Gulben; Incesu, Rabia

    In this study, poly(maleic anhydride-co-methyl methacrylate) [poly(MA-co-MMA)] copolymer and their Ce(NO3)3-filled composites were synthesized and systematically investigated. The copolymer was prepared via free radical polymerization using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator in 1,4-dioxane medium. Poly(MA-co-MMA)/Ce(NO3)3 composites were fabricated through a solution mixing technique in accordance with the response surface methodology (RSM) design. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results indicated that no significant chemical interaction occurred between the polymer molecule and Ce(NO3)3 particles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed a relatively uniform dispersion of Ce(NO3)3 particles within the polymer, resulting in a rougher surface with increasing filler content and that aggregation occurs at 20 wt%. The presence of Ce(NO3)3 particles in the polymer was confirmed by x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The effects of frequency, applied voltage, and Ce(NO3)3 content on dielectric constant (epsilon) and electrical conductivity (sigma) were optimized using RSM, and the significance of these parameters was evaluated by analysis of variance (ANOVA). An increase in Ce(NO3)3 content significantly enhanced the electrical conductivity, while the applied voltage exhibited no statistically significant effect on dielectric properties. ANOVA results identified Ce(NO3)3 content as the most influential parameter in the developed model.

    Comparative phytochemical characterization and bioactivity evaluation of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) root extracts using green extraction technologies

    Korkmaz, Nesrin; Yaman, Cennet; Güçlü, Ebru; Doğan, Üzeyir; İmamoğlu, Rızvan; Aslan korkmaz, Şengül

    This study investigates the largely untapped therapeutic potential of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) roots, which are usually discarded as agricultural byproducts. The phytochemical composition and biological activities of extracts obtained using Soxhlet, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and supercritical CO₂ (SC-CO₂) techniques were comparatively evaluated. Compounds were characterized using FTIR, GC–MS, LC–MS, and ICP-MS. SC-CO₂ extraction yielded the most chemically diverse profile, particularly enriched in fatty acids and triterpenoids. In vitro assays demonstrated that SC-CO₂ and Soxhlet extracts significantly promoted fibroblast migration and reduced inflammatory responses compared to UAE extracts. Gene and protein expression analyses further supported these bioactivities. In conclusion, this study highlights the phytopharmaceutical potential of hemp root extracts obtained using alternative extraction techniques, including supercritical CO₂ extraction. While SC-CO₂ extraction enabled the recovery of a chemically diverse extract, the present study focuses on comparative phytochemical and bioactivity outcomes rather than a quantitative assessment of environmental sustainability. The findings support further investigation of hemp roots, currently treated as an underutilized biomass, for potential applications in natural product research.

    Ceylan, Yusuf; Korkmaz, Nesrin; Kaçan, Fatma N.; Aydin, Ali; Korkmaz, Şengül A.; Yildirim, Ebru Ş.

    Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were synthesized using a green approach with Vitis vinifera L. extract, a plant rich in secondary metabolites that act as natural reducing agents. The obtained CuO NPs were characterized by XRD, EDX, and STEM analyses. FT-IR analysis revealed the presence of functional groups originating from plant biomolecules and confirmed the formation of Cu–O bonds, indicating the successful synthesis and stabilization of CuO NPs. XRD confirmed distinctive CuO diffraction peaks at 32.38°, 35.35°, 38.61°, 40.75°, 48.79°, 51.90°, 57.66°, 61.38°, 65.94°, and 75.12°. STEM imaging showed predominantly spherical, well-dispersed nanoparticles with an average size of 23–38 nm. Antibacterial analysis revealed a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 4 µg mL−1 against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. In anticancer assays, the CuO NPs demonstrated notable cytotoxicity at both low concentrations and even at levels below the control group in A549, Calu-1, and Saos-2 cancer cell lines, highlighting their strong biomedical potential.

    Drying temperature-dependent changes in grape seed bioactives and oxidative status: integrated HPLC/GC and multivariate analysis

    Karaca Sanyürek, Nesrin

    Abstract: Drying temperature (40–80 °C) critically influences the stability of bioactive compounds in grape seeds and their functional responses. In this study, we evaluated the vitamin and phytosterol content of Boğazkere grape seeds using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the fatty acid content using gas chromatography (GC). Antioxidant capacity was determined using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and the oxidative stress marker, malondialdehyde (MDA). Temperature-dependent and compound-specific alterations were observed: while selected vitamins and phytosterols showed distinct thermal susceptibilities, fatty acid profiles exhibited measurable remodeling. Antioxidant activity revealed non-linear dose- and temperature-dependent patterns, whereas MDA consistently decreased with increasing temperature, reflecting the reduced oxidative metabolism in dehydrated tissues. Multivariate analysis, including principal component analysis (PCA) and heatmap visualization, effectively discriminated temperature treatments and revealed correlations between compositional and functional parameters. The combined use of univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that the drying temperature reshaped not only individual bioactive compounds but also the overall biochemical profile of grape seeds. These findings establish a mechanistic link between thermal processing and bioactive stability, providing a chemical basis for optimizing grape seed valorization in food systems.

    Solvent Extraction of Copper from Sulfate Solutions Using Acorga OPT5510; [Extracción de cobre de soluciones de sulfato mediante solventes con Acorga OPT5510]

    Karacahan, Mehmet Kayra

    This study used a solvent extraction technique with AcorgaOPT5510 extractant in kerosene to examine the extraction of copper ions from the actual leach solution produced after leaching malachite ore in sulfuric acid solutions. On the Cu/Fe separation factor and the effectiveness of copper extraction, the impacts of significant parameters, including stirring speed, contact duration, extractant concentration, beginning solution pH, and temperature, were examined. The following values were chosen as the optimal ones: 1:1, 1.5, 12%, 20 °C, 10 min, 10 min, and 500 rpm for maximum Cu2+ extraction from the aqueous-phase, aqueous/organic phase ratio, equilibrium pH of the aqueous phase, extractant concentration, temperature, contact time, settling time, and stirring speed. Under these conditions, 94% of the copper in the leach solution was removed, yielding about 40.09 Cu/Fe separation factor. A McCabe-Thiele plot was revealed, and it was shown that a two-step extraction procedure would yield the best results. Furthermore, employing a sulfuric acid concentration of 4 mol·L-1 for 10 minutes, the loaded organic phase was stripped and recovered 91% copper.

    Electrochemically assisted leaching of rare earth carbonates in non-aqueous green solvents: Solvent design, characterization, and process optimization

    Cihangir, Salih

    This study presents a systematic approach to the design, characterization, and application of non-aqueous green solvents (NAGSs) for the leaching of rare earth carbonate hydrates (RECHs). Four NAGSs based on choline chloride, ethylene glycol, and various carboxylic acids were synthesized and evaluated for their physicochemical and electrochemical properties. Among the evaluated formulations, the choline chloride–ethylene glycol–Na₂EDTA·2H₂O mixture (N1) and the chloride–levulinic acid mixture (N2) were found were found suitable for both traditional and electrochemically assisted leaching due to their optimal viscosity, conductivity, and electrochemical stability. Electrochemical assistance significantly enhanced leaching efficiency, with improvements ranging from 22 % to over 300 % for certain elements compared to conventional methods. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the application of an oxidative potential facilitates the protonation and dissolution of RECHs, likely through the generation of localized acidic environments and the formation of intermediate species. The FTIR analysis confirmed the dissolution of carbonate phases and the formation of rare earth–ligand complexes, particularly in the N1 system, where new bands associated with carboxylate and amine coordination were observed. Importantly, the proposed electrochemically assisted method can be applied to different primary or secondary sources in both aqueous and non-aqueous solutions. The results demonstrate the advantages of combining non-aqueous green solvents with electrochemical assistance as an environmentally benign alternative to conventional acid-based leaching, especially for challenging carbonate forms of rare earth elements. This work provides important guidelines for the development of sustainable hydrometallurgical processes, with future directions including solvent recyclability, selective recovery, and environmental assessment.

    Evaluation of electrical properties of poly(NIPA-co-St) composites containing neodymium and yttrium

    Cetinkaya, Ebru; Karaaslan Ayhan, Nagihan; Torgut, Gulben

    In this study, firstly, to obtain neodymium (Nd) and yttrium (Y)-containing composite materials, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-copolymer-styrene) (poly(NIPA-co-St)) copolymer was synthesized by free radical polymerization method using N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and styrene (St) monomers. Secondly, new composite materials were obtained by adding neodymium and yttrium to this copolymer at different weight ratios (10% and 20%). Structural and morphological characterizations of poly(NIPA-co-St) copolymer, poly(NIPA-co-St)-10%Nd, poly(NIPA-co-St)-20%Nd, poly(NIPA-co-St)-10%Y and poly(NIPA-co-St)-20%Y composite materials were carried out. The electrical properties of the copolymer and composite materials were evaluated by considering the frequency dependence of the dielectric constant (έ), dielectric loss (ε″) and electrical conductivity (σac) properties. At 100 Hz, the έ, ε″, and σac values of the copolymer were 5.12, 0.05, and 2.29 × 10−10 S/cm, respectively. With the addition of 10% Nd, the έ, ε″, and σac values at 100 Hz were calculated as 6.57, 0.10, and 1.79 × 10−9 S/cm, respectively, while with the addition of 20% Nd, these values were calculated as 8.39, 0.15, and 4.78 × 10−8 S/cm at 100 Hz. With the addition of 10% Y, the έ, ε″, and σac values at 100 Hz were calculated as 6.56, 0.053, and 1.81 × 10−9 S/cm, respectively, while with the addition of 20% Y, these values were calculated as 8.57, 0.0058, and 3.70 × 10−8 S/cm at 100 Hz. It can be stated that as the amount of Nd and Y additives to the poly(NIPA-co-St) copolymer increases, the έ, ε″, and σac values increase, indicating an improvement in electrical properties with the addition of Nd and Y elements.

    Ekşi, Osman; İpek, Yeliz; Koçak, Berna

    In this study, for the first time, chromium (III) oxide-glutardialdehyde modified boron-doped diamond electrode (Cr2O3-GA2/BDDE) was used as a sensor for the electrochemical analysis of gentamicin sulfate. The Cr2O3-GA2 suspension used in electrode modification was physically coated on the BDD electrode by a simple drop-casting method. Characterization of Cr2O3-GA2 used in the modification was made by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and the electrochemical method. The behavior of gentamicin sulfate on Cr2O3-GA2/BDDE was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), and its electrochemical analysis was done by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Electrochemical analysis of gentamicin sulfate on Cr2O3-GA2/BDDE was carried out in a pH 9 Britton–Robinson (BR) buffer by the DPV method. The linear working range of gentamicin sulfate on Cr2O3-GA2/BDDE was calculated as 5.96 × 10−6−6.54 × 10−5mol L−1, and the correlation coefficient was calculated as 0.997. The limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 2.84 × 10−6. mol L−1. Additionally, Genta, a 3% eye/ear drop solution, was preferred to determine the applicability of gentamicin sulfate in a commercial formulation. As a result, it was shown that the method developed on Cr2O3-GA2/BDDE for the determination of gentamicin sulfate can be applied to commercial drugs.

    Koçak, Berna; İpek, Yeliz

    In this study, a glutardialdehyde-Fe2O3 modified glassy carbon electrode (GA2–Fe2O3/GCE) was used as a sensor for the electrochemical analysis of tetracycline (TC) in drug formulations. The electrochemical behavior of TC on GA2-Fe2O3/GCE was investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), while the quantitative determination was performed via differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). After optimizing the experimental conditions, the linear working range, limit of (LOD) detection, and limit of quantification (LOQ) of the GA2-Fe2O3/GCE electrode developed for the electrochemical analysis of TC were found to be 1.0 × 10−6–2.0 × 10−5 M and 2.0 × 10−5–9.9 × 10−6 M; 4.78 × 10−7 M; 1.59 × 10−6 M, respectively. In the sensor application study conducted on a Tetra® Gensenta tablet to demonstrate the applicability of the developed method, the linear working range, LOD, and LOQ values of the sensor were found to be 1.0 × 10−6–14.8 × 10−5 M; 5.72 × 10−7 M and 1.74 × 10−6 M, respectively. The applicability of the method was demonstrated through tablet recovery studies, and the tablet recovery ratio was determined to be 100.94%.

    Synthesis of Aminothiophene derivative complexes and electrochemical sensor application for carbofuran pesticide

    Taş, Abdurrahim; İpek, Yeliz; Adiguzel, Ragip

    In this study, a ligand named 2-amino-6-ethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine-3‑carbonitrile (ATL), which is an aminothiophene ligand, was synthesized. ATL was used to synthesize ATL-Co(II), ATL-Cu(II), and ATL-Zn(II) complexes. The chemical structures of the complexes were elucidated by spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, UV–visible, and LC-MS analysis, as well as TG-DTA analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and elemental analysis. Finally, the electrochemical characterization of ATL and the electrochemical sensor application of its complexes was performed. In electrochemical sensor studies, a carbofuran pesticide sensor application was investigated. ATL exhibited an irreversible oxidation peak around 1.0 V. It was observed that ATL-Co(II), ATL-Cu(II), and ATL-Zn(II) complexes behaved similarly to ATL and exhibited an irreversible oxidation peak at the same potential. Carbofuran pesticide was added to the sensor medium using the standard addition method. The changes in peak current with different carbofuran concentrations constituted the data of the amperometric sensor application, and the changes in the peak potential constituted the data of the voltammetric sensor application. Linear working ranges, LOD, and LOQ values were calculated for ATL, ATL-Co(II), ATL-Cu(II), and ATL-Zn(II) complexes, separately. The widest operating range as a voltammetric sensor was achieved with the ATL: 20 μmol L−1 to 350 μmol L−1. The lowest LOD and LOQ values were achieved with the ATL-Co(II) complex for voltammetric detection as 8.8 μmol L−1 and 29.2 μmol L−1, respectively. The lowest LOD and LOQ values were achieved with the ATL-Co(II) complex as 1.6 μmol L−1 and 5.2 μmol L−1 with the amperometric technique, respectively.
