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”. The most commonly produced glass is soda-lime-silica glass which accounts for about 90 percent of all the glass produced 1. ![]() The title of her thesis was “Magnetic and Electromagnetic Characterisation of Barium Hexaferrite Ceramics & Their Polymer Matrix Composites”. 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). 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). It is made by cooling molten ingredients such as silica sand with sufficient rapidity to prevent the formation of visible crystals. Finally, undoped and doped mesoporous silicate bioactive glasses will be compared in terms of their antibacterial properties. Glass has been made into practical and decorative objects since ancient times, and it is still very important in applications as disparate as building construction, housewares, and telecommunications. 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. For fused silica made of chemical precursors, the impurity level is in the parts per billion range. If vitreous silica is produced from natural raw materials, the metallic impurity content is typically, at best, in the parts per million range. These glasses will be doped with several antibacterial ions to increase their resistance to the bacterial infections. The first is the raw material, and the second is the actual fusion process used to fabricate the glass. The glasses will be a sol-gel technique in combination with surfactant-templating and evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) processes. 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.
