Brief description of expertise :
Sakarya University has been working on producing graphene oxide and graphene to develop graphene-based electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage applications. Recently, the research fields have been extended to the exfoliation of other 2D materials, such as MoS2 and 2D Ti3C2. The research group has been involved in international and national projects funded by Era-Net, EIG-Japan Concert, FP7, Horizon Europe, and TUBITAK since 2010. As a result, the research group has excellent expertise in producing 2D materials and carrying out their physical characterization. Our research group can take responsibility for exfoliating 2D materials and material characterization for the possible project partnership.

Title: "Development of graphene-Hydrogel Composite Scaffold for Enhanced Cartilage Regeneration"
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the potential of a Mxene-hydrogel composite scaffold for cartilage regeneration, compared to traditional scaffolds.
Hypothesis: We hypothesize that the incorporation of graphene in hydrogel scaffold will enhance the mechanical properties and stimulate chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells, resulting in improved cartilage regeneration.
Methodology:
Preparation of graphene-hydrogel composite scaffold
Characterization of the composite scaffold and mechanical testing
Cell culture study using human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) to evaluate cell proliferation, viability, and chondrogenic differentiation of hMSCs on the composite scaffold.
In vivo study in a rabbit model of cartilage defect to evaluate the efficacy of the composite scaffold in cartilage regeneration compared to traditional scaffolds.
Histological and immunohistochemical analysis of regenerated cartilage to evaluate the quality of regenerated cartilage tissue.
Expected outcomes: We expect that the graphene-hydrogel composite scaffold will demonstrate improved mechanical properties, enhanced chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells, and improved cartilage regeneration compared to traditional scaffolds.
Significance: The development of a Mxene-hydrogel composite scaffold has the potential to improve the clinical outcomes of cartilage regeneration, which is a major challenge in orthopedic medicine.

Brief description of expertise :
We are a research group based in National Taiwan University that specializes in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy (nc-AFM). Our lab has the capability to perform surface and cross-sectional STM/AFM (XSTM/XAFM) with in-situ light and gate voltage/source-drain voltage modulation. This allows us to conduct optoelectronic and nanoelectronic device STM/AFM measurements.
We have recently published a paper in Nature and IEDM that demonstrates the band alignment measurement of metal/MoS2/STO using XSTM. As a team, we are actively seeking collaborations for the measurement of 2D materials-based devices using STM/nc-AFM with in-situ light and electric modulation. Our techniques enable us to explore the electronic structure and related properties of functioning devices and to identify key issues in the development of future electronics from the perspectives of physics and materials science.
