Our work entitled “Scalable fabrication of MXene-PVDF nanocomposite triboelectric fibers via thermal drawing” was accepted for publication in Small. In this work, we developed a novel method to integrate MXene into polymer fibers by thermal fiber drawing. We investigated the energy harvesting properties of the fiber, and demonstrated the fiber as a self-powered sensor for biomotion.

Our group made four presentations including one keynote speech in  ICISCT 2022 sponsored by IEEE on September 28-30, 2022 at Tashkent, Uzbekistan. the titles of the presentations are: “3D printed hollow-core polymer optical fiber with six-pointed star cladding for the light guidance in the near-IR regime” presented by Mahmudur Rahman “Elliptical cladding elements in negative curvature…

The numerical study on nested hollow-core fibers was accepted for publication in Optics Letters. In this work, we investigate the optimum positioning of nested elements for near-IR guidance. https://opg.optica.org/ol/fulltext.cfm?uri=ol-47-12-3039&id=476787 Another review work titled ” Multilayer MXene Heterostructures and Nanohybrids for Multifunctional Applications: A Review” was accepted for publication in ACS Materials Letters. We review the recent advancement in MXene…

Mahmudur Rahman has joined to the CFL as a graduate student. We wish best of the luck to him.

Our industry-university collaboration “Development of high purity glass fibers for composites” is approved and will be funded by Turkish Aerospace (TUSAŞ). We are looking for highly motivated graduate and undergraduate students to work in this project.

Berke Özyalın, Göktan Yılmaz and Murat Barış have joined to the CFL as long-term undergraduate students with the support of TUBITAK STAR program. We wish best of the luck to them.

Ceren Dilsiz and Cihat Kürşat Kalkan have joined to the CFL as long-term undergraduate students with the support of TUBITAK STAR program. We wish best of the luck to them.

Arda Kurucu has completed his long-term internship at CFL and now he has joined to the CFL as a graduate student. We wish best of the luck to him.

The numerical study on chalcogenide hollow-core fibers is accepted for publication in Optik. A year long work by Asfandyar Khan is now available online. This publication is particularly important because it’s the first research work conducted by our group. This work is supported by TÜBİTAK (Project 120F003). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S003040262101754X  

Ali Bagheri Behboud and Md Sazid bin Sadeque have joined to the CFL as a graduate student. We wish best of the luck to them.
