In situ resonant Raman and ESR spectroelectrochemical study of electrochemically synthesized poly(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-phenylenevinylene)

The electrochemical synthesis of poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) and different modifications in the electronic distribution upon electrochemical p-doping (oxidation) and n-doping (reduction) of this polymer film have been studied in situ by resonance Raman spectroscopy, optical absorption spectroscopy and ESR spectroscopy. The polymer film has been prepared by electrochemical reduction of α,α,α′,α′-tetrabromo-p-xylene in dimethylformamide using tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate as the electrolyte salt. During electrochemical polymerization the position and relative intensities of the Raman bands change regularly as the chain length increases and finally converge on values reported for chemically prepared PPV. The Raman spectra for electrochemically polymerized PPV is compared to infrared-active vibration bands for electrochemically n-doped PPV. When the polymer undergoes redox reactions (doping-dedoping), shifts and broadening of Raman bands, compared to neutral PPV, are observed. Interpretation of the Raman spectra and the ESR results led to the conclusion that charge transfer in this system is mainly accomplished by polaron species formed upon doping of the polymer. In this reaction the quinoid structure is formed rather than the benzenoid structure. Electronic Publication     

The influence of intracellular storage material on bacterial identification by means of Raman spectroscopy

Previous studies dealing with bacterial identification by means of Raman spectroscopy have demonstrated that micro-Raman is a suitable technique for single-cell microbial identification. Raman spectra yield fingerprint-like information about all chemical components within one cell, and combined with multivariate methods, differentiation down to species or even strain level is possible. Many microorganisms may accumulate high amounts of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) as carbon and energy storage materials within the cell and the Raman bands of PHA might impede the identification and differentiation of cells. To date, the identification by means of Raman spectroscopy have never been tested on bacteria which had accumulated PHA. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of intracellular polymer accumulation on the bacterial identification rate. Combining fluorescence imaging and Raman spectroscopy, we identified polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) as a storage polymer accumulating in the investigated cells. The amount of energy storage material present within the cells was dependent on the physiological status of the microorganisms and strongly influenced the identification results. Bacteria in the stationary phase formed granules of crystalline PHB, which obstructed the Raman spectroscopic identification of bacterial species. The Raman spectra of bacteria in the exponential phase were dominated by signals from the storage material. However, the bands from proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids were not completely obscured by signals from PHB. Cells growing under either oxic or anoxic conditions could also be differentiated, suggesting that changes in Raman spectra can be interpreted as an indicator of different metabolic pathways. Although the presence of PHB induced severe changes in the Raman spectra, our results suggest that Raman spectroscopy can be successfully used for identification as long as the bacteria are not in the stationary phase.     

Total internal reflection Raman spectroscopy

Total internal reflection (TIR) Raman spectroscopy is an experimentally straightforward, surface-sensitive technique for obtaining chemically specific spectroscopic information from a region within approximately 100-200 nm of a surface. While TIR Raman spectroscopy has long been overshadowed by surface-enhanced Raman scattering, with modern instrumentation TIR Raman spectra can be acquired from sub-nm thick films in only a few seconds. In this review, we describe the physical basis of TIR Raman spectroscopy and illustrate the performance of the technique in the diverse fields of surfactant adsorption, liquid crystals, lubrication, polymer films and biological interfaces, including both macroscopic structures such as the surfaces of leaves, and microscopic structures such as lipid bilayers. Progress, and challenges, in using TIR Raman to obtain depth profiles with sub-diffraction resolution are described.     

Scanning angle Raman spectroscopy measurements of thin polymer films for thickness and composition analyses

Scanning angle (SA) Raman spectroscopy was used to measure the thickness and composition of polystyrene films. A sapphire prism was optically coupled to a sapphire substrate on which 6–12% (w/v) polystyrene in toluene was spin coated. Raman spectra were collected as the incident angle of the p-polarized, 785-nm excitation laser was varied from 56 to 70°. These angles span above and below the critical angle for a sapphire/polystyrene interface. The thickness of the polystyrene film was determined using a calibration curve constructed by calculating the integrated optical energy density distribution as a function of incident angle, distance from the prism interface and polymer thickness. The calculations were used to determine the incident angle where waveguide modes are excited within the polymer film, which is the angle with the highest integrated optical energy density. The film thicknesses measured by SA Raman spectroscopy ranged from less than 400 nm to 1.8 μm. The average percent uncertainty in the SA Raman determinations for all films was 4%, and the measurements agreed with those obtained from optical interferometery within the experimental uncertainty for all but two films. For the 1270-nm and 580-nm polystyrene films, the SA Raman measurements overestimated the film thickness by 5 and 18%, respectively. The dependence of the calibration curve on excitation polarization and composition of the polymer and bulk layers was evaluated. This preliminary investigation demonstrates that scanning angle Raman spectroscopy is a versatile method applicable whenever the chemical composition and thickness of interfacial polymer layers needs to be measured.     

Quantitative analysis of thymine with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and partial least squares (PLS) regression

Silver sol surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was considered as a technique in the quantitative analysis of low-concentration thymine. Because of the poor stability and reproducibility of SERS signal, a polymer of polyacrylic acid sodium was selected as a stable medium to add into silver sol in order to obtain a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy signal. Assignments of Raman shift for solid thymine, SERS of thymine, and SERS of thymine containing stable medium were given. The comparison of Raman peaks between them showed that the addition of stable medium had a little influence on the SERS of thymine and is suitable for the quantitative analysis of low-concentration thymine.     

Temperature-induced nucleation of poly(p-phenylene vinylene-co-2,5-dioctyloxy-m-phenylene vinylene) crystallization by HiPco single-walled carbon nanotubes

Hybrid systems of the conjugated organic polymer poly(p-phenylene vinylene-co-2,5-dioctyloxy-m-phenylene vinylene)(PmPV) and HiPco single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are explored using spectroscopic and thermal techniques to determine specific interactions. Vibrational spectroscopy indicates a weak interaction, and this is further elucidated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), confocal laser scanning microscopy, temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy, and temperature-dependent infrared spectroscopy of the raw materials and the composite. An endothermic transition is observed in the DSC of both the polymer and the 0.1% HiPco composite in the region of 50 degrees C. Also observed in the DSC of the composite is a double-peaked endotherm at -39 and -49 degrees C, which does not appear in the polymer. The Raman spectroscopy of the polymer upon increasing the temperature to 60 degrees C shows a diminished cis-vinylene mode at 1575 cm(-1), with an increase in relative intensity of the trans-vinylene mode at 1630 cm(-1). Partially irreversible change in isomerization suggests increased order in the polymer. This change in the polymer is also manifest in the Raman composite spectrum upon increase of the temperature to 60 degrees C, where the spectrum becomes abruptly dominated by nanotubes. Raman spectroscopy of the composite shows no change at -35 degrees C; however, infrared absorption measurements suggest that the transition at -35 degrees C derives from the polymer side chains. Here the composite at -35 degrees C shows a change in the absorbance of the polymer side chain aryl-oxide linkage at 1250 cm(-1) and alkyl-oxide stretch at 1050 cm(-1). Infrared spectra thus suggest that the transitions in the lower temperature region around -35 degrees C are side chain-induced, while Raman spectra suggest that the transition at 60 degrees C is backbone-induced. Furthermore, temperature cycling induces an irreversible decrease in the mean fluorescence intensity of the polymer, coupled with a further reduction in the mean fluorescence intensity of the composite. This suggests that an increase in crystallization of the composite is supported and enhanced by an increase in ordering of the polymer. Implications are discussed.     

Morphology of a PA / PTFE blend studied by Raman imaging

Raman spectroscopy has been employed for morphological studies on a polymer blend of polyamide-6,6, polytetrafluoroethylene and silicone oil used as a commercial friction bearing. New information about dimensions and distribution of polytetrafluoroethylene clusters in this composite material was revealed by Raman imaging. It was found that the applied processing conditions result in the formation of clusters, which are between 8 μm and 20 μm in diameter and distributed randomly over the whole material. The Raman results were confirmed by SEM images and SEM / EDX elemental mappings. The Raman imaging method has proved to be a good analytical tool for polymer analyses due to the speed of spectra acquisition and the easy sample preparation.
