Abstract:

 In this study, reduced graphene oxide RGO was chosen as a filler to examine the structural properties of polycaprolactone PCL composite films. PCLRGO composite films were prepared by using the liquid phase ultrasonic mixing method by using different amounts of RGO filler 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 wt. Polymer-filler interaction was achieved in all films; the highest crystal size values of the peaks belonged to the 110 and 200 planes of the PCLRGO-1.0 film, and an irregular, rough surface image and fewer voids were seen in the same film. This study recommended PCLRGO-1.0 film, which had the lowest porosity 26.84 and surface roughness value Rq 2.23 for biomaterial applications with its controlled biodegradability behavior.

 Bu çalışmada, polikaprolakton PCL kompozit filmlerin yapısal özellikleri ve biyobozunurluk davranışını incelemek için indirgenmiş grafen oksit RGO dolgu maddesi olarak seçilmiştir. RGO dolgusu farklı miktarlarda ağ. 0,1, 0,5 ve 1,0 sıvı faz ultrasonik karıştırma metodu ile PCL matriksine ilave edilerek PCLRGO kompozit filmler hazırlanmıştır. Tüm filmlerde polimer-dolgu etkileşiminin sağlandığı, 110 ve 200 düzlemlerine ait piklerin kristal boyut değerlerinde en yüksek artışın PCLRGO-1.0 filmine ait olduğu ve aynı filmde düzensiz, kaba yüzey görüntüsü ile birlikte diğer filmlere göre daha az boşluklu bir yüzey görüntüsü sergilediği tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, kontrollü biyobozunurluk davranışı ile biyomalzeme uygulamaları için en düşük gözeneklilik 26,84 ve yüzey pürüzlülük değerine Rq 2,23 sahip olduğu belirlenen PCLRGO-1.0 filmini önermektedir.
