Today, thin-film-based photovoltaic (PV) structures attract attention in the search for alternatives to Si-based solar cells. Among the thin films, the Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) compound is the most remarkable with its optical and ...

In this thesis study, synthesis and characterization of an alternative absorber, antimony selenide (Sb2Se3), layer for photovoltaic applications have been investigated. Synthesis of the Sb2Se3 thin films has been carried ...

Currently, in nanotechnology and biomedical field DNA nanotechnology is more and more used instead of conventional methods and important studies are carried out. Complementary base pairing of DNA has taken it to the next ...

The aim of the thesis is to develop composite scaffolds with antithrombogenic properties and high blood compatibility by modifying decellularized pericardial tissue with carboxylated carbon nanotubes and to characterize ...

Infectious diseases encompass 25% of deaths in the world per year. The most effective approach in preventing deaths is vaccination. However, at present, the availability of vaccines for many infectious diseases is still ...

Controlled drug release is a technique used for releasing the drug in the desired site of the body at the therapeutic dose. In drug release systems, administration of the drug given to the patient in appropriate doses to ...

Although it is quite difficult to model friction on the atomic scale, recent theoretical and experimental techniques have enabled the study of friction at atomic scales, which could not be studied with conventional models ...

Natural estrogenic hormones are frequently used as birth control drugs in hormonal treatments for women and as growth precursors of farm animals in veterinary practice. These components threaten human health and wildlife ...

Due to high biocompatible properties, titanium dioxide nanotube surface arrays have widely been used in orthopedic and dental implants, biosensor and drug releasing systems. In the presented thesis study, titania nanotube-based ...

Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the world. Common approaches in cancer treatment include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immune therapy, and targeted therapy. In radiotherapy, which ...
