Last week, we hosted the visit of Associate Prof. Dr. Yasin Akgül and Associate Prof. Dr. Hamza Şimşir from Karabük University, as well as Associate Prof. Dr. Cemhan Doğan and Associate Prof. Dr. Nurcan Doğan from Yozgat Bozok University, Turkey. Their visit was in the frame of our current DAAD – TÜBİTAK collaborative project. The visit was hosted by Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini with participation of Dr. Irem Unalan and Ms Andrada Damian-Buda (PhD student), investigators in the project. The collaboration focuses on the project: “A Novel Sustainable Food Packaging Solution: Nanofibrous Mats with Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles”, which aims to develop innovative and sustainable active food packaging materials by combining biodegradable nanofibrous mats with mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs). During the visit, the team successfully synthesized MBGNs and carried out electrospinning experiments, marking an experimental milestone of the project. The visit also provided an excellent opportunity for scientific exchange, knowledge transfer, and strengthening the collaboration between the German and Turkish research teams. We thank DAAD and TÜBİTAK for supporting this international partnership and look forward to the exciting research outcomes that will emerge from this collaboration.
