Interest in synthesizing functional materials from natural compounds has increased recently. For this reason, compound particles attract attention due to their multifunctional properties. Abelmoschus esculentus L. (Okra) is a vegetable species belonging to the Hibiscus family, widely used for its edible unripe fruit. This study synthesized the particle from the Abelmoschus esculentus (Okra) extract (Oe) by emulsion polymerization. In this synthesis, ammonium persulfate (APS, initiator) to form free radicals at the Abelmoschus esculentus (Okra) extract (Oe) and ethylene glycol di methacrylate t ...More
The aim of this study was to synthesize organo-hydrogels, by using agar, glycerol and different amounts of castor oil in one step, with biocompatible, blood-compatible and antioxidant properties using a new approach to the synthesis of smart polymers. Then, the target was to investigate the applicability of these organo-hydrogels as a drug release system. In the synthesis of organo-hydrogels, crosslinking was achieved with MBA or GA reagent and the redox polymerization technique was applied in the emulsion medium. The swelling behaviors of organo-hydrogels, which were synthesized using differe ...More
To reduce water pollution caused by fertilizers in agricultural irrigation, highly swelling crosslinked hydrogels (p(DMAAm-co-MA) or DM1) based on N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAAm) and maleic acid (MA) were prepared using a chemical initiator with the redox polymerization technique. Negative and positive surface modifications of DM1 were achieved using hydrochloric acid (HCl) (p(DMAAm-co-MA)/HCl or DM2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (p(DMAAm-co-MA)/NaOH or DM3), respectively. The synthesized hydrogels were named DM1, DM2 and DM3, respectively. The swelling properties, urea sorption and urea release ...More
Novel biocompatible homo and co-polymeric microparticles were synthesized from maleic acid (MA) and citric acid (CA) for uptake/release thiamine as a model drug. Surfactant-free self-emulsion polymerization technique was accomplished to synthesize the microparticles in a single step. The antimicrobial, antioxidant properties of those microparticles and their thiamine uptake/release capacities were investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), particle-size/zeta-potential (Zeta/DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) instruments were utilize ...More
