Since November, 2015 she has been pursuing her PhD in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Institute of Biomaterials, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU-Germany) with the thesis topic of “Mesoporous Silicate Bioactive Glasses as Antibacterial Materials”. ![]() Silica sand is used in buildings and roads in the form of portland cement, concrete, and mortar, as well as sandstone. Other varieties include coesite, keatite, and lechatelierite. The title of her thesis was “Magnetic and Electromagnetic Characterisation of Barium Hexaferrite Ceramics & Their Polymer Matrix Composites”. Silica has three main crystalline varieties: quartz (by far the most abundant), tridymite, and cristobalite. Her Master´s degree was obtained in 2014 from the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Middle East Technical University (Turkey). Before finishing her bachelor´s, she made two industry internships in companies involved in ceramics and aviation & defence industries. During her undergraduate studies, she was an Erasmus exchange student for six months in the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg (TUHH). ![]() This has a high melting temperature in the region of 1700 degrees C and its state at this. The Researcher: Seray Kaya was born in Ankara, Turkey and obtained her bachelor´s degree in 2011 from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Anadolu University (Turkey). The main constituent of Flat Glass is SiO2 (silica sand). Finally, undoped and doped mesoporous silicate bioactive glasses will be compared in terms of their antibacterial properties. The glass properties will be characterised before and after biological testing and include the evaluation of antibacterial effectiveness through in-vitro testing and the testing of cytotoxicity potential. These glasses will be doped with several antibacterial ions to increase their resistance to the bacterial infections. The glasses will be a sol-gel technique in combination with surfactant-templating and evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) processes. The most commonly produced glass is soda-lime-silica glass which accounts for about 90 percent of all the glass produced 1. The Project: Highly ordered mesoporous silicate bioactive glasses with changed surface charge potential in order to prevent bacteria growth will be synthesised to develop biodegradable and bioresorbable silicate bioactive glasses with different ion release rates.
