银盐CTP版材物理显影过程及银堆积形态的研究

银盐扩散型CTP(Computer-To-Plate)版材基于银盐扩散转移原理.本文利用高分辨率的场效应扫描电子显微镜及CCD等手段研究了几种因素对该类版材物理显影银堆积状态及物理显影过程的影响.清晰地观察到不同曝光区物理显影银的堆积状态,在弱曝光区,银颗粒堆积紧密,是版材具有亲油性的主要原因.使用不同类型络合剂分别得到了颗粒状、树枝状等各种形态的物理显影银,表明络合剂对银颗粒形态有显著影响.通过CCD装置对版材上物理显影过程的实时原位监测,从动力学的角度解释了络合剂、显影温度对物理显影银堆积状态的影响.     

物理显影核和介质对银盐扩散转移影像质量的影响

在银盐扩散转移感光材料中,正像的形成是典型的物理显影过程。在这个过程中,物理显影核起着催化剂的作用^[1]。因此核的性质与影像质量有着密切的联系。另外,介质是制备胶态核不可缺少的保护体,不同介质对影像转移密度和色调都有显著影响。所以要提高影像质量,研究物理显影核性质和介质成份是很有必要的。     

硫醇化合物在银盐CTP版材上的疏水作用

本文采用线形CCD(ChargeCoupledDevice)技术、接触角等方法研究了一种长链硫醇化合物对计算机直接制版材料物理显影动力学及疏水性能的影响。结果表明,该化合物是物理显影过程的抑制剂,在显定合一的加工液中添加该化合物可以显著提高版材物理显影银区的疏水性能。同时,通过表面显微拉曼光谱进一步证明了硫醇化合物在物理显影银表面的吸附增加了版材的亲油性。     

扩散转移过程正负影像覆盖力的研究

本文测定了银盐扩散转移过程正负影像的覆盖力,测定结果表明,正像比负像覆盖力大3—10倍。这正是扩散转移体系的特点之一。覆盖力在很大程度上依赖于密度,随着密度的增大,覆盖力以指数形式下降。改变正像接受层的物理显影核或核的载体,都会引起覆盖力的变化。同时,沉积的银颗粒越细,覆盖力也越大。     

显影抑制剂对银盐CTP版材的提高反差作用

高反差是印刷用感光材料的重要特性.本文着重研究了4种化学显影抑制剂对银盐扩散转移型CTP版材反差的影响.结果发现,硫代水杨酸、2-巯基苯并噻唑、6-硝基苯并咪唑和苯并三氮唑等单独使用时,对版材反差都有不同程度的提高作用;而硫代水杨酸与6-硝基苯并咪唑配合使用时,得到了超高反差效果.通过计算,给出了各个抑制剂最佳浓度时的反差系数值.另外,利用线性CCD技术对物理显影过程的研究表明,添加抑制剂扩大了不同曝光级的显影诱导期和显影速率之间的差别,从而提高了反差.     

影响一步摄影正象色调与银颗粒大小的几个因素

用透射电子显微镜观察一步摄影正片(明胶介质)的银颗粒,对影响银颗粒大小的因素进行了研究。卤化银负片乳剂中的碘含量,明显地影响卤化银颗粒大小和转印后银颗粒的大小,随着卤化银乳剂中的碘含量减少,卤化银颗粒和银质点簇(即银颗粒)变大,组成银质点簇的银质点数目增多,正象色调由棕向黑转移。不同物理显影核亦显著影响正片银颗粒大小与其色调。     

用铜物理显影的多级放大成像过程Ⅲ.影像中铜和银的分布及明胶对Au3+的还原

本文研究了铜物理显影后影像中铜和银的分布以及在非影像区明胶对Au³⁺的还原作用。铜含量随着影像深度的增加而增加,银含量却随着深度的增加而减少。Ag3d结合能向低值位移说明影像内部的银处于单原子和多原子的混合状态,但是影像表面的银却为单原子状态,如果铜物理显影进行得足够长,铜最终会将银全部遮盖。在这以后的铜物理显影是铜的自催化过程,样片浸入氯金酸溶液中后,非影像区中吸收的氯金酸量大大高于影像区,因而铜的沉积速度在非影像区也比影像区大得多。明胶能还原Au³⁺.还原过程可分为两步:第一步由Au³⁺还原成Au⁺,这一步在室温下是快反应;第二步由Au⁺还原成金,这个反应比较慢,Au⁺和Au在物理显影中可作为催化核,使铜在非影像区沉积。     

彩色卤化银体系中染料云形成的动力学模型

本文根据彩色卤化银成像体系中显影剂氧化产物(QDI)在介质层中扩散-反应的过程,设计了一个描述彩色染料影像最小基元-染料云形成的动力学过程的数学模型。此模型模拟了内含分散性成色剂油珠的介质层中,曝光的卤化银颗粒在彩色显影时,其表面上生成的QDI在向颗粒周围作球型扩散的同时,一方面其本身要进行脱氨或磺化反应,另一方面又要与成色剂油珠发生界面偶合反应生成染料,并在颗粒周围形成染料云。此模型不仅可提供彩色卤化银体系中染料云形成细微过程的描述,而且还可提供介质层中染料的径向分布、QDI浓度的时空分布以及还原的银量和染料产率等重要结果。     

AAO模板中AgBr的显影过程探讨

在AAO(Anodic Aluminum Oxide)模板中生长AgBr纳米线,并对其进行化学显影.显影结果表明,D-72显影液和D-76显影液显影后得到的银大部分都在模板的表面,分别呈丝状和颗粒状;而原位显影液得到的银则在孔隙中呈线状分布.文章认为,3种显影液中物质传质过程及显影剂活性的不同造成了显影银存在位置和形貌的差异,并提出用直接电子转移和间接电子转移机理解释银的形貌差异.     

CCD技术应用于研究物理显影过程

本文使用一个线性CCD器件,通过反射光强(Intensity)随CCD单元及反应时间的变化,直接监测感光化学中银盐扩散转移体系中的物理显影过程,主要研究了加工液组分对物理显影的影响。实验结果表明,当使用KSCN作为银络合剂时,对苯二酚为显影剂,物理显影速率随络合剂浓度的增加而增加,随显影剂浓度的增加而下降;用Na₂S₂O₃为络合剂时,其结果相反;当用尿嘧啶为银络合剂时,显影剂浓度在0.1mol/L时反射光强出现最佳值。与此同时还研究了保护剂、溶液pH值等条件的影响。本文证明了CCD方法用于研究物理显影是可行的。     

用铜物理显影的多级放大成像过程 Ⅰ.影像强化和节银效应

感光乳剂中卤化银颗粒接收足够的曝光量后可形成潜影,经过显影便成为可见影像。这个过程可以看作是第一级放大。它的放大因子为10~9。但是影像的密度取决于单位面积上显出的银量和银影像的遮盖本领。如果单位面积上显出的银颗粒太少,影像就不能被眼睛或仪器(如密度计)检测出来。单位面积上银颗粒太少可由两个原因造成的:或是因为曝光量太低以致具有可显潜影的颗粒太少;或是因为乳剂层中卤化银颗粒本来就太少。     

Preparation and resistivity study of silver nanocomposite films using spin‐assisted layer‐by‐layer assembly

Nanocomposite films [Ag/(PAH‐PSS)_nPAH]_m were fabricated on a silicon substrate using a time‐ and cost‐efficient spin‐assisted layer‐by‐layer (SA‐LbL) self‐assembly technique. A virtually monolayer‐like layer of self‐assembled silver nanoparticles was formed when deposition time increased to 30 min. It was found that polymer multilayers could effectively decrease the resistivity of silver nanoparticle monolayer, which was far higher than that of bulk silver metal; however, the resistivity of Ag/(PAH‐PSS)_nPAH multilayer films increased along with the increasing of the number of polymer bilayers. XPS investigations showed that silver nanoparticles were partially oxidized, which might be the major cause of the high resistivity of silver nanoparticle monolayer.

Control on the porosity of disk-like hematite particles prepared from a forced hydrolysis reaction using polyvinyl alcohol

The effects of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) molecules on the porosity of disk-like hematite particles produced from the forced hydrolysis reaction using two kinds of PVA molecules with a well-defined molecular weight and a high degree of saponification (PVA-105 and PVA-124) were investigated. It is evident from TEM and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) measurements that a fraction of particles lost their spherical habit and acquired a disk-like shape by the addition of small amounts of both PVA molecules, though no difference in the particle size between the two PVA systems was observed. FE-SEM images of the particles revealed that the disk-like hematite particles are made up of small cluster particles with a diameter of approx. 5–10 nm. The disk-like particles produced a rather lower concentration for PVA-124 with a higher molecular weight than that for PVA-105 with a lower molecular weight. This fact was due to the large number of hydroxy groups in PVA-124 molecules than in PVA-105; hydroxy groups act as adsorption sites onto polynuclear (PN) primary particles and cause pronounced effects on the formation and structure of particles during the aggregation of PN particles. It was clarified from N₂ adsorption measurements at 77 K that the porosity of the hematite particles can be controlled from microporous to mesoporous by changing the concentrations of PVA-105 and PVA-124, as was classified into three groups, i.e., groups 1, 2, and 3. The control particles produced without PVA molecules, classified into group 1, showed type IV adsorption isotherms, and only the voids produced between spherical particles were detected as mesopores. On the other hand, the particles produced with small amounts of PVA produced micropores as classified in group 2. In this group, the particles produced uniform micropores after being outgassed at 100–200 °C. The hematite particles produced with high concentrations of PVAs were classified into group 3. In this group, the particles after being outgassed at lower temperature produced micropores with diameters between 0.6 and 2.0 nm, though the micropores in the particles changed to mesopores after outgassing at 300 °C. This mesopore formation was attributed to the elimination of the PVA-adsorbed layer by evacuation at 300 °C, i.e., the large voids residing in the disk-like hematite particles make the particles mesoporous. This mesopore formation was further confirmed by adsorption experiments of C₆H₆(benzene) and CCl₄ molecules at 298 K.     

Development of a histidine-targeted spectrophotometric sensor using Ni(II)NTA-functionalized Au and Ag nanoparticles

An antibody-free diagnostic reagent has been developed based on the aggregation-induced colorimetric change of Ni(II)NTA-functionalized colloidal gold and silver nanoparticles. This diagnostic strategy utilizes the high binding affinity of histidine-rich proteins with Ni(II)NTA to capture and cross-link the histidine-rich protein mimics with the silver and gold nanoparticles. In model studies, the aggregation behavior of the Ni(II)NTA nanoparticles was tested against synthetic targets including charged poly(amino acid)s (histidine, lysine, arginine, and aspartic acid) and mimics of Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (pfHRP-II). Aggregation of the nanoparticle sensor was induced by all of the basic poly(amino acid)s including poly(l-histidine) within the pH range (5.5-9.0) tested, which is likely caused by the coordination between the multivalent polymer target and Ni(II)NTA groups on multiple particles. The peptide mimics induced aggregation of the nanoparticles only near their pK(a)'s with higher limits of detection. In addition, monomeric amino acids do not show any aggregation behavior, suggesting that multiple target binding sites are necessary for aggregation. Long-term stability studies showed that gold but not silver nanoparticles remained stable and exhibited similar aggregation behavior after 1 month of storage at room temperature and 37 °C. These results suggest that Ni(II)NTA gold nanoparticles could be further investigated for use as a sensor to detect histidine-rich proteins in biological samples.     

The Application of Diffusing-Wave Spectroscopy to Monitor the Phase Behavior of Emulsion-Polysaccharide Systems

Droplet aggregation is an important cause of instability in emulsions because it may, on one hand, lead to an increased creaming rate, resulting in fast separation of a concentrated emulsion phase (creamed layer). On the other hand, it may also lead to the formation of a stabilizing, droplet-based network. Early detection of instability is often difficult due to the high turbidity and viscosity of more concentrated food emulsions. The applicability of diffusing-wave spectroscopy (DWS) for monitoring droplet aggregation and creaming was studied using a model system consisting of a protein-stabilized emulsion, to which a soluble polymer ("thickener") was added. This addition leads to an increased solvent viscosity and may induce droplet aggregation. In addition, the redistribution process of emulsion droplets in aggregating concentrated emulsions was directly observed by confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM). By DWS the decrease of the droplet mobility caused by the viscosity increase of the continuous phase could be separated from the effect of droplet aggregation. Moreover, a distinction could be made between aggregation, leading to increased creaming rates and that leading to the formation of a stabilizing droplet network. The potential of DWS for in situ measurement of the stability of concentrated emulsions is discussed. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

Polymeric coatings on silver nanoparticles hinder autoaggregation but enhance attachment to uncoated surfaces

The propensity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) having two different polymer coatings (poly(vinylpyrrolidone), PVP, or gum arabic, GA) to aggregate, or to deposit to a reference surface (silica), was explored as a basis for differentiating the effect of surface coating on the stability of nanoparticles in aggregation and in deposition. Surface polymeric coatings stabilize nanoparticles against aggregation as shown by either an increased critical coagulation concentration as for PVP-coated AgNPs (AgPVP) or the absence of observable aggregation even at a high ionic strength as for GA-coated AgNPs (AgGA). In experiments of AgNPs deposition in a silica porous medium, dissimilar surfaces favored deposition, such as the case where polymer coatings were present on the AgNPs but were absent on the porous medium. The increased affinity of the AgNPs for the porous medium in this case may be explained by a shifted contact frontier where electrical double layer interaction is weaker. When coating polymers were introduced to the porous medium and allowed to preadsorb to the silica surfaces, the attachment efficiencies for both the AgPVP and AgGA were reduced due to steric and electrosteric stabilization, respectively. The results suggest that polymeric coatings that are usually deemed as stabilizers (as they indeed are in the case of autoaggregation) might not necessarily stabilize nanoparticles against deposition unless the collector surfaces are also coated with polymer.     

On the mechanism of secondary ion formation from poly(methylmethacrylate) under static secondary ion mass spectrometry conditions

The negative ion spectrum of a relatively thick layer (± 0. 5 μm) of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) with M?_w = 1890 and its positive ion spectrum of a very thin layer (± 1. 0 nm) on silver measured with a time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometer are presented. From the negative ion spectrum it is concluded that formation of enolate anions from PMMA under static secondary ion mass spectrometric conditions is an important ion formation process. From fragmentation products of the polymer, detected as silver cationized species in the positive ion spectrum, more evidence was found of a fragmentation mechanism for PMMA under static secondary ion mass spectrometric conditions recently proposed in the literature. From the relation between the information obtained from the two types of spectra an extension of this mechanism is obtained. This mechanism implies scission of the polymer chain by the primary ion bombardment with subsequent formation of enolate anions from the newly formed polymer chain-ends.
