Times Higher Education (THE) revealed the 2018 World University Rankings. 4 more Turkish universities entered the rankings this year, bringing the total number of Turkish universities up to 22, in addition to one university from North Cyprus.

For this year's THE World University Rankings, 1102 universities from 77 countries were assessed. Sabancı University was within the 351-400 bracket. 

Other Turkish universities included in the rankings were Koç, Bilkent, Boğaziçi, Atılım, Istanbul Technical, Middle East Technical, Hacettepe, Gebze Technical, Izmir Institute of High Technology, Istanbul, Marmara, TOBB ETÜ, Yıldız Technical, Erciyes, Akdeniz, Ankara, Gazi, Anadolu, Dokuz Eylül, Yeditepe, and Ondokuz Mayıs Universities. Eastern Mediterranean University from North Cyprus was also included. 

The fact that the number of Turkish universities in the Times Higher Education (THE) 2018 World University Rankings is indicative of the importance placed by Turkish universities in the rankings and their growing strength in the global competitive environment. 

The methodology of THE University Rankings assesses successful universities based on 13 performance indicators in teaching, research, citations, industry income and international outlook. 

The scope and weight of these five categories are provided below:

• Teaching: the learning environment (worth 30%)
• Research: volume, income and reputation (worth 30%)
• Citations: research influence (worth 30%)
• Industry Income: innovation (worth 2.5%)
• International Outlook: staff, students and research (worth 7.5%) 

A packaging film coated with clay nanotubes developed by Sabancı University was presented at the 254th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Washington, D.C.

A packaging film coated with clay nanotubes, developed as part of a TÜBİTAK ARDEB 1003 project by Sabancı University Nanotechnology Research and Application Center (SUNUM) Researcher Hayriye Ünal as implementer and Sabancı University Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences Dean Yusuf Menceloğlu, Sabancı University Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences Member Fevzi Çakmak Cebeci and Integrated Manufacturing Technologies Research and Development Center (TÜMER) Researcher Serkan Ünal as advisors was presented at the 254th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Washington, D.C.

Nano-clay packaging can prevent economic losses from spoilage

Over the past two decades, scientists have been developing alternative ways to preserve food, with an extensive focus on packaging. Sabancı University Nanotechnology Research and Application Center (SUNUM) Researcher Hayriye Ünal and her team developed a packaging film coated with clay nanotubes packed with an antibacterial essential oil. The film prevents over-ripening and microbial growth, which could help improve the shelf life of perishables.

Discussing the project, Hayriye Ünal said "Food packaging that is capable of interacting with food can contribute to safety and prevent economic losses from spoilage" and added that low-cost packaging could be custom-designed for specific food types.

Effectiveness tested on tomatoes, bananas and chicken

The team wrapped tomatoes, bananas and chicken in the film to test its effectiveness over varying amounts of time compared to foods wrapped in plain polyethylene. After 10 days, tomatoes wrapped with the new film were better preserved than the control vegetables. In addition, the new film helped bananas stay more firm and keep their vibrant yellow color after six days compared to the control fruit. And chicken enveloped with the experimental film and refrigerated for 24 hours showed significantly less bacterial growth than chicken in plain polyethylene.

Hayriye Ünal said that they continued their efforts to prove the food safety of nano-clay coated packaging film, an invention patented by Sabancı University, which is necessary before the product can be marketed.
