Abstract:
Tissue engineering involves the use of cells, growth factors/cytokines, and scaffolds to regenerate damaged tissue. The choice of cells, scaffold and their delivery is crucial to the successful outcome of the treatment and this is particularly the case in bone and cartilage where the repair tissue has to recreate a structural hierarchy to restore long lasting function. One approach to deliver high numbers of cells to a defect site is as cell aggregates or spheroids. Experiments are described here that aim to understand how mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblastic cells behave in a cell aggregate and how this could be refined by the inclusion a self -assembling hydrogel to influence cellcell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions. Forming cellular spheroids in vitro can be achieved using various methods, including hanging drop, static suspension culture, encapsulation/entrapment, and low adherence multi-well. Extensive analysis identified that the most efficient and reproducible method for the formation of spheroids using rat osteoblasts and human MSCs was through their culture at a specific concentration in polyHEMA coated plates. Both viability and ability of cells to differentiate was investigated. The MTT assay was used to assess cells viability while their ability to differentiate was assessed by measuring alkaline phosphatase activity as well as measuring gene osteogenic markers expression via qRT-PCR. Analysis of cell differentiation under these conditions revealed that alkaline phosphatase activity appeared more elevated in 2D cultures compared to 3D. However, it was noted that there were contrasting results between the two types of cells with expression of osteogenic genes higher when MSCs were grown in osteogenic media while with calvarial significant expression was also observed when grown in normal media. Because of the distinct regulatory cues given by cell-cell contact in the spheroid, analysis was performed for connexin (Cx)-43, a gap junction protein and members of the ephrin/Eph family. Cx-43 iv was immunolocalised to gap junction structures in cells after osteogenic treatment on a flat substrate but this was more difficult to assess in the 3D spheroids. Analysis of transcript patterns reflected the increased abundance of Cx-43 in cells treated with osteogenic supplements and parallel changes in expression of Ephrin B1 and Ephrin B2. Experiments were also performed including a Puramatrix hydrogel nanofibers scaffold that could encase the cells in an ECM-like environment, provide mechanical support and protect them and manipulate cell-cell interactions. The results obtained in this study concluded that calvaria cells viability and hence proliferation increased when grown embedded within 0.25% Puramtrix while mesenchymal stem cells increased when embedded in 0.5% Puramatrix. Similarly, alkaline phosphatase activity was higher in cells embedded within 0.25% Puramatrix while mesenchymal stem cells favoured 0.5%. On the other hand, osteogenic gene expression of both cells was enhanced with the use of Puramatrix scaffold.

Abstract:
The many advances of nano technology extensively revolutionize mechanics. A tremendous need is growing to further bridge the gap between the classical mechanics and the nano scale for many applications at different engineering fields. For instance, the themes of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary topics are getting more and more attention especially when the coherency is needed in diagnosing and treating terminal diseases or overcoming environmental threats. The fact that how mechanical, biomedical and electrical engineering can contribute to diagnosing and treating a tumor per se is both interesting and unveiling the necessity of further investments in these fields. This dissertation presents three different investigations in the area of nano mechanics and nano materials spanning from computational bioengineering to making mechanically more versatile composites. The first part of this dissertation presents a numerical approach to study the effects of the carbon nano tubes (CNTs) on the human body in general and their absorbability into the lipid cell membranes in particular. Single wall carbon nano tubes (SWCNTs) are the elaborate examples of nano materials that departed from mere mechanical applications to the biomedical applications such as drug delivery vehicles. Recently, experimental biology provided detailed insights of the SWCNTs interaction with live organs. However, due to the instrumental and technical limitations, there are still numerous concerns yet to be addressed. In such situation, utilizing numerical simulation is a viable alternative to the experimental practices. From this perspective, this dissertation reports a molecular dynamics (MD) study to provide better insights on the effect of the carbon nano tubes chiralities and aspect ratios on their interaction with a lipid bilayer membrane as well as their reciprocal effects with surface functionalizing. Single walled carbon nano tubes can be utilized to diffuse selectively on the targeted cell via surface functionalizing. Many experimental attempts have smeared polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a biocompatible surfactant to carbon nano tubes. The simulation results indicated that SWCNTs have different time-evolving mechanisms to internalize within the lipid membrane. These mechanisms comprise both penetration and endocytosis. Also, this study revealed effects of length and chirality and surface functionalizing on the penetrability of different nano tubes. The second part of the dissertation introduces a novel in situ method for qualitative and quantitative measurements of the negative stiffness of a single crystal utilizing nano mechanical characterization; nano indentation. The concept of negative stiffness was first introduced by metastable structures and later by materials with negative stiffness when embedded in a stiffer (positive stiffness) matrix. However, this is the first time a direct quantitative method is developed to measure the exact value of the negative stiffness for triglycine sulfate (TGS) crystals. With the advancements in the precise measuring devices and sensors, instrumented nano indentation became a reliable tool for measuring submicron properties of variety of materials ranging from single phase humongous materials to nano composites with heterogeneous microstructures. The developed approach in this chapter of the dissertation outlines how some modifications of the standard nano indentation tests can be utilized to measure the negative stiffness of a ferroelectric material at its Curie temperature. Finally, the last two chapters outline the possible improvements in the mechanical properties of conventional carbon fiber composites by introducing 1D nano fillers to them. Particularly, their viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior are studied extensively and different modeling techniques are utilized. Conventional structural materials are being replaced with the fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) in many different applications such as civil structures or aerospace and car industries. This is mainly due to their high strength to weight ratio and relatively easy fabrication methods. However, these composites did not reach their full potential due to durability limitations. The majorities of these limitations stem from the polymeric matrix or the interface between the matrix and fibers where poor adhesion fails to carry the desired mechanical loadings. Among such failures are the time-induced deformations or delayed failures that can cause fatal disasters if not taken care of properly. Many methodologies are offered so far to improve the FRPs' resistance to this category of time-induced deformations and delayed failures. Several researchers tried to modify the chemical formulation of polymers coming up with stiffer and less viscous matrices. Others tried to modify the adhesion of the fibers to the matrix by adding different chemically functional groups onto the fibers' surface. A third approach tried to modify the fiber to matrix adhesion and at the same time improve the viscous properties of the matrix itself. This can be achieved by growing 1D nano fillers on the fibers so that one side is bonded to the fiber and the other side embedded in the matrix enhancing the matrix with less viscous deformability. It is shown that resistance to creep deformation and stress relaxation of laminated composites improved considerably in the presence of the nano fillers such as multiwall carbon nano tubes (MWCNTs) and zinc oxide nano wires (ZnO- NWs). The constitutive behaviors of these hybrid composites were investigated further through the use of the time temperatures superposition (TTS) principle for the linear viscoelastic behavior and utilizing phenomenological models for the viscoplastic behavior.

Abstract:
L'interface entre une cellule présentatrice d’antigène (CPA) et une cellule T joue un rôle clé dans la reconnaissance de l'antigène in vivo. L'importance du regroupement des récepteurs des lymphocytes T (TCR) est bien établie. De plus, les antigènes sont également regroupés sur les CPA. J'ai étudié l’impact de ce regroupement de ligands sur la réponse des cellules T. J'ai développé un nouveau substrat synthétique qui imite la membrane des CPA et qui consiste en un réseau d’ilots protéiques (de taille 800 ± 100 nm, espacés de 2 μm), entourés d'une bicouche lipidique fluide (SLB), éventuellement fonctionnalisée. Les ilots et la SLB sont alternativement fonctionnalisés avec des molécules d'anti-CD3 (ciblant le complexe TCR), ou d’ICAM-1 (ligand pour l'intégrine des cellules T). Pour les cellules T adhérant à ces substrats, le TCR et ZAP-70 co-localisent avec les ilots d’antiCD3. La présence d’ICAM-1 sur la SLB ne perturbe pas cette organisation. Si les ligands adhésifs sont présents uniquement dans les ilots mais pas sur la SLB, la membrane présente une topographie caractéristique. L’étalement cellulaire est augmentée par le regroupement d’anti-CD3 seulement en présence d’ICAM-1 dans la SLB. L'organisation de l’actine est également affectée par ce regroupement et la présence d’ICAM-1. L'imagerie dynamique indique que l’actine est organisée par le TCR au début et par l’intégrine en fin de processus soulignant ainsi le rôle crucial mais différent de ces deux molécules lors de l'adhésion des cellules T. Ces résultats peuvent être rationalisés en considérant l'expulsion ou non du glycocalyx, contenant des phosphatases, au niveau de l'interface cellule T/CPA
The interface between an Antigen Presenting Cell (APC) and a T cell plays a key role in antigen recognition in vivo. The importance of clustering of T cell receptors (TCR) is well established. In addition, antigens are also presented on APCs as well-defined nano-dots. I studied how such clustering of ligands influences T-cell response. I developed a novel synthetic substrate that mimics the APC-membrane, and consists of an array of protein dots (size 800±100 nm, spacing 2 µm), surrounded by a fluid supported lipid bilayer (SLB), which is optionally functionalized. The dots and the SLB are alternatively functionalized with molecules of anti-CD3 (targeting the TCR-complex), or ICAM-1 (ligand for the T-cell integrin). In T cells adhered to these substrates, TCR and ZAP-70 (one of the first molecules to be recruited to the TCR complex on activation) clusters colocalize with the antiCD3-dots. The presence of ICAM-1 on the SLB does not appreciably perturb this organization. On ICAM-1 dots the TCR is not organized in clusters. If adhesive ligands are present only in the dots but not on the SLB, the membrane exhibits a characteristic topography. The cell area, which in T cells may serve as a readout of their level of activation, is augmented by anti-CD3 clustering only in presence of ICAM-1 in the SLB. Actin organization is impacted by clustering and presence of ICAM-1. Dynamic imaging hints that TCR organizes the actin at early time and integrin at late time, thus pointing to the crucial but different role of both in adhesion of T cells. These results can be rationalized by considering the expulsion or not of the glycocalyx, containing phosphatases, from the TCR/APC interface

Abstract:
Fuel Cells are important forms of sustainable power generation and Biofuel Cells utilize the use of bio-compatible/biodegradable molecules as fuels. Glucose is an ideal candidate to serve this purpose. In this project, a Glucose Fuel Cell (GFC) has been fabricated using the nanomaterials developed in the lab. The skeletal system of this GFC is a three-layered structure; a Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) composed of carbon electrodes (anode and cathode) and a Poly Vinyl Alcohol/Poly Acrylic Acid (PVA/PAA) polymer electrolyte. Gold and Silver (Au and Ag) nanoparticles are utilized as catalyst on the anode and cathode respectively, which are prepared by the use of green chemistry practice. One of the GFC has been compacted under hot press and the other non-hot pressed. ,which led to different surface areas. For the validation of the GFC stacks, the glucose concentration was selected around biologically available levels, i.e at 400 mg/dL in both the cases. One trial on hot pressed membrane with 200 mg/dL of glucose is also studied. Short Circuit Current (SCC) and Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) were measured following which the voltages and currents were measured across load resistances. The Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) studies were carried out on the membrane while the electrodes were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). UV-Vis studies were carried out on the Au and Ag nanoparticle suspension before and after impregnation of carbon cloth electrodes. Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) has been utilized to estimate the concentration and thus the number of nanoparticles adsorbed on the surface of the carbon cloth. The variations of output current with the thickness of the membranes were studied. The assembly containing the catalytic particles showed power levels ranging between 128.7 nW-332.2 nW in the glucose concentration of 400 mg/dL. Rigorous efforts are under process to scale down the power consumption of electronics to extremely low levels. GFCs could be used as power generators in such devices. The inexpensiveness of the fuel is a remarkable factor.

Abstract:
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are considered as one of the most promising power generation technologies due to their high energy conversion efficiency, fuel flexibility and reduced pollution. There is a broad interest in reducing the operating temperature of SOFCs. The key issue to develop low-temperature (300~600 °C) SOFCs (LTSOFCs) is to explore new electrolyte materials. Recently, ceria-based composite electrolytes have been developed as capable alternative electrolyte for LTSOFCs. The ceria-based composite electrolyte has displayed high ionic conductivity and excellent fuel cell performance below 600 °C, which has opened up a new horizon in the LTSOFCs field. In this thesis, we are aiming at exploring nanostructured composite materials for LTSOFCs with superior properties, investigating the detailed conduction mechanism for their enhanced ionic conductivity, and extending more suitable composite system and nanostructure materials.In the first part, core-shell samarium doped ceria-carbonate nanocomposite (SDC/Na2CO3) was synthesized for the first time. The core-shell nanocomposite was composed of SDC particles smaller than 100 nm coated with amorphous Na2CO3 shell. The nanocomposite has been applied in LTSOFCs with excellent performance. A freeze dry method was used to prepare the SDC/Na2CO3 nanocomposites, aiming to further enhance its phase homogeneity. The ionic conduction behavior of the SDC/Na2CO3 nanocomposite has been studied. The results indicated that H+ conductivity in the nanocomposite is predominant over O2- conductivity with 1-2 orders of magnitude in the temperature range of 200-600 °C, indicating the proton conduction in the nanocomposite mainly accounts for the enhanced total ionic conductivity. The influence of Na2CO3 content to the proton and oxygen ion conductivity in the nanocomposite was studied as well.In the second part, both the proton and oxygen ion conduction mechanisms have been studied. It is suggested that the interface in the nanocomposite electrolyte supplies high conductive path for the proton, while oxygen ions are probably transported by the SDC grain interiors. An empirical “Swing Model” has been proposed as a possible mechanism of superior proton conduction, while oxygen ion conduction is attributed to oxygen vacancies through SDC grain in nanocomposite electrolyte.In the final part, a novel concept of non-ceria-salt-composites electrolyte, LiAlO2-carbonate composite electrolyte, has been investigated for LTSOFCs. The LiAlO2-carbonate electrolyte exhibits good conductivity and excellent fuel cell performances below 650 °C. The work not only developed a more stable composite material, but also strongly demonstrated that the high ionic conductivity is mainly related to interface effect between oxide and carbonate. As a potential candidate for nanocomposite, uniform quasi-octahedral CeO2 mesocrystals was synthesized in this thesis work as well. The CeO2 mesocrystals shows excellent thermal stability, and display potential for fuel cell applications.

ABSTRACT INTERACTION BETWEEN MICRO AND NANO PATTERNED POLYMERIC SURFACES AND DIFFERENT CELL TYPES Ö

elik, Hayriye Ph.D., Department of Biology Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Vasif Hasirci Co-Supervisor: Dr. Celestino Padeste August 2012, 139 pages Micro and nanopatterned surfaces are powerful experimental platforms for investigating the mechanisms of cell adhesion, cell orientation, differentiation and they enable significant contributions to the fields of basic cell and stem cell biology, and tissue engineering. In this study, interaction between micro and nanopatterned polymeric surfaces and different cell types was investigated. Three types of micropillars were produced by photolithography (Type 1-3), while nanometer sized pillars were produced in the form of an array by electron beam lithography (EBL). Replica of silicon masters were made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Polymeric [P(L-D,L)LA and a P(L-D,L)LA:PLGA blend] replica were prepared by solvent casting of these on the PDMS template and used in in vitro studies. The final substrates were characterized by various microscopic methods such as light microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In order to investigate deformation of the nucleus in response to the physical restrictions imposed by micropillars, Type 1 and Type 2 pillars were used. These substrates were covered with pillars with different interpillar distances. While Type 1 is covered with symmetrically (in X-Y directions) distributed pillars, Type 2 pillars were distributed asymmetrically and the inter-pillar distances were increased. Nuclei deformation of five cell v types, two cancer cell lines (MCF7 and Saos-2), one healthy bone cell (hFOB1.19), one stem cell (bone marrow origined mesemchymal stem cells, BMSCs) and one standard biomaterial test cell type, (L929) fibroblasts was examined by using fluorescence microscopy and SEM. The nuclei of Saos-2 and MCF7 cells were found to be deformed most drastically. Nucleus deformation and intactness of nuclear membrane was examined by Anti- Lamin A staining. The interaction of the cells with micropillars was visualized by labelling focal adhesion complexes (FAC). Wettabilities of patterned and smooth surfaces were determined. As the patterns become denser (closer micropillars, Type 1) the hydrophobicity increased. Similar to water droplets, the cells were mostly spread at the top of the Type 1 pillars. The number of cells spread on the substrate surface was much higher on Type 2 patterned films. In order to support these qualitative findings, nucleus deformation was quantified by image analysis. Frequency of nucleus deformation was determined as the ratio of deformed to the total number of nuclei (%). In order to quantify the intensity of nuclei deformation, their circularity was evaluated. In addition to nucleus deformation, alterations in the ratio of cell area-to-nucleus area in response to micropillars were determined by image analysis. The results indicated that cancerous cells were more deformable. The qualitative microscopic evaluation and the data obtained by quantification of the nucleus and cellular deformation were in good agreement. In addition, the findings were consistent with expectations which suggest that cancerous cells are &ldquo
softer&rdquo
. In the second part of the research the force applied by the cells on arrays of micropillars with high aspect ratios (Type 3 substrates) during tugging at the pillars was investigated. Micropillars were produced using P(L-D,L)LA as well as a 60:40 blend of P(L-D,L)LA with PLGA. The blend is a material with lower stiffness than P(L-D,L)LA. The mechanical properties of the two materials were determined by tensile testing of solvent cast films. Deformation of Type 3 micropillars by the cellular tugging force of Saos-2 and L929 was studied by fluorescence and SEM microscopy, both on stiff and softer substrates. Displacements of the centers nodes of the pillars were evaluated from SEM micrographs. On the stiff surface, the two cell types bent the pillars to the same extent. On the other softer substrate (blends), however, the maximum displacements observed with Saos-2 cells were higher than the ones caused on the stiffer substrate or the ones caused by L929 cells. It is reported that stiffness of the substrate can determine stem cell lineage commitment. In order to examine the effects of change of substrate stiffness on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, osteopontin (OPN) expression was determined microscopically. It was found that osteogenic differentiation is enhanced when BMSCs are cultured on P(L-D,L)LA Type 3 pillars. vi In the last part of research, arrays of nanopillars whose interpillar distances systematically varied to form different fields were examined in terms of adhesion and alignment in order to determine the differential adhesion of BMSCs and Saos-2 cells. The difference in their adhesion preference on nanopillar arrays was quantified by image analysis. It was observed that BMSCs and Saos-2 cells behaved in an opposite manner with respect to each other on the fields with the highest density of nanopillars. The BMSCs avoided the most densely nanopillar covered fields and occupied the pattern free regions. The Saos-2, on the other hand, occupied the most densely nanopillar covered fields and left the pattern free regions almost unpopulated. It was also found that both BMSCs and Saos-2 cells aligned in the direction of the shorter distance between the pillars. Both BMSCs and Saos-2 cells started to align on the pillars if the distance in any direction was >
1.5 &mu
m. To better understand the effects of chemical and physical cues, protein coating and material stiffness were tested as two additional parameters. After fibronectin coating, the surfaces of P(L-D,L)LA films with the highly dense pillar covered fields, which were avoided when uncoated, were highly populated by the BMSC. Similarly, decreasing the stiffness of a surface which was normally avoided by the BMSCs made it more acceptable for the cells to attach.

Abstract:
The efficiency of hybrid solar cell depends mainly on the exciton dissociation efficiency and charge mobility. The exciton dissociation efficiency can be improved by increasing the interfacial area between the nanoparticles and polymer. Charge mobility can be improved by proper distribution of nanoparticles in polymer to form better permitting path of each material. Both these parameters are strongly dependant on better distribution of nanoparticles in the polymer. The approach used in this research is the application of star dispersant to the photo active layer, specifically designed for conducting polymers. This dispersant will modify the arms of conducting polymer to have a high compatibility with nanoparticles and provide better distribution. The patterning of these polymers is achieved by wet etching process. Finally, Indium is used as a contact between P3HT and ITO to measure voltage and current characteristics. A number of specimens are prepared with and without the introduction of star dispersant. Absorption spectrum analysis and Photoluminescence (PL) measurements are performed to characterize the optical properties of active layer. Parametric study involving influence of the nano-composite film morphology with and without star dispersant for Photoluminescence measurement and I-V characteristics of hybrid nano-polymer solar cells have been studied. Structural characterization revealed that with the application of the dispersant, better mixing of the nanoparticles and the polymer can be achieved. This will in turn increase the interface area and improve exciton dissociation.
