Within the scope of TÜBİTAK Star Undergraduate Call (2022/2nd Term) Support, our Textile Engineering senior undergraduate student Ayada Umut Çıngay started to work as a scholarship student in the TUBITAK 1001 project on "Observation of autograft formation and holistic analysis of the pre-clinical process by long-term implantation of bilayer small-caliber vascular grafts made of biodegradable polymeric fibers into the porcine carotid artery", numbered 121M309, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. İpek Yalçın Eniş. We congratulate our student and wish her continued success.

Project Content: Biodegradable vascular graft design, production, mechanical and in-vitro analysis, implantation in porcine carotid artery and performing post-implantation structural, histological, mechanical, morphological and biological analyzes.





Within the scope of TÜBİTAK Star Undergraduate Call (2022/2nd Term) Support, our Textile Engineering undergraduate student İbrahim Karataş started to work as a scholarship student in the TUBITAK 1002 project on "Development of Environmentally Friendly Seasonal Knitted Fabrics with Improved UV Protection Using Hemp Blend Yarns for Children's Outerwear", numbered 122M699, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sena Cimilli Duru. We congratulate our student and wish her continued success.

Project Content: The project aims to develop knitted fabrics suitable for seasonal children's outerwear by using hemp-based yarns as well as yarns made of innovative and biodegradable fibers. Improving the UV protection of these environmentally friendly fabrics is among the main points aimed at within the scope of the project.





Within the scope of TÜBİTAK Star Undergraduate Call (2022/2nd Term) Support, our Textile Engineering undergraduate students Aylin Kaya and Eda Gündoğar started to work as a scholarship students in the TUBITAK 1001 project on "Development of Porous Alginate Fiber and Active Wound Covering", numbered 221M272, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Alper Gürarslan. We congratulate our student and wish her continued success.

Project Content: In the project, a wound dressing will be developed that will play an active role in the healing process of wounds and shorten the wound healing process. Within the scope of the study, which is at the intersection of fiber, polymer, textile, material, and physiology disciplines, it is aimed to first produce a new fiber and then produce anti-bacterial wound dressings and examine the physical properties of the developed wound dressings.
