Optical Properties and Sizes of Silver Nanoparticles in Micellar Solutions

Sizes of silver nanoparticles prepared by the reduction of silver ions in reverse micelles with solvated electron (radiation-chemical synthesis) and natural pigment quercetin (biochemical synthesis) were determined. The sizes were measured by the dynamic light-scattering technique. Histograms of the micelle size distributions were compared with the absorption spectra of the corresponding solutions of nanoparticles. It was shown that the employed synthesis procedures made it possible to obtain metal particles with the sizes of the order of several nanometers; the changes of optical density in the maximum of nanoparticle absorption band correlated with the changes of the particle content in solution. The results obtained were compared with the data available for silver nanoparticles prepared by the radiation-chemical synthesis in aqueous solution in the presence of stabilizer and by the chemical synthesis in reverse micelles with traditional reducing agents.

Kinetics of Aggregation and Relaxation in Micellar Surfactant Solutions

Theoretical results published in the last 17 years on the kinetics of aggregation and relaxation in micellar surfactant solutions have been reviewed. The results obtained by the analytical and direct numerical solution of the Becker–Döring kinetic equations and the Smoluchowski generalized equations, which describe different possible mechanisms of aggregation and relaxation on all time scales from ultrafast relaxation while reaching the quasi-equilibrium in the region of subcritical molecular aggregates to the last stage of slow relaxation of micelles to the final aggregated state, have been considered in detail. The droplet model and the model linear with respect to aggregation numbers have been used for the work of aggregation to describe the dynamics of the rearrangement of micellar systems consisting of only spherical, only cylindrical, and coexisting spherical and cylindrical aggregates, with the dynamics being both linear and nonlinear with respect to deviations from equilibrium. The results of molecular simulation of the rearrangement kinetics of micellar systems subjected to initial disturbance have been reviewed.     

The Stage of Ultrafast Relaxation in Micellar Surfactant Solutions

The Becker–Döring kinetic equations are employed to describe the stage of ultrafast relaxation in micellar surfactant solutions, which ends in the establishment of a quasi-equilibrium distribution in the premicellar region of aggregate sizes. This is performed by analyzing the spectrum of the eigenvalues of the matrix of kinetic coefficients of the linearized Becker–Döring difference equations, which describes the complete multistage relaxation in a micellar system. The first value of the spectrum ordered as an ascending series is equal to zero (infinite relaxation time), thereby corresponding to the law of conservation of the surfactant quantity. The second value is very small; it differs from the series of subsequent values by several orders of magnitude and determines the time of slow relaxation. The other eigenvalues describe the processes of fast relaxation and comprise the contributions from the relaxation processes in both micellar and premicellar regions of aggregate sizes. In the latter region of the spectrum, the contribution of the ultrafast relaxation can be numerically distinguished. The obtained result is confirmed by the analysis of the spectrum of relaxation times of premicellar aggregates, which are considered as a closed system. It is also shown that the spectrum of ultrafast relaxation times is mainly determined by the first diagonal elements of the matrix of the linearized Becker–Döring equations and can be described analytically.

用射频介电谱方法研究了0.1-80 mmol·L-1浓度的十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)水溶液体系的介质弛豫行为. 测量发现频率接近107 Hz时, 在临界胶束浓度(CMC)附近出现显著的介电弛豫现象. 采用Cole-Cole函数拟合SDBS体系介电数据, 其拟合参数具有明显变化规律: 介电增量(△ε)随SDBS摩尔浓度(cs)的增加而增大, 表现为两种线性关系, 并在cs=36 mmol·L-1附近出现拐点; 特征弛豫时间(τ0)却在cs=45 mmol·L-1出现极小值. 利用胶束电模型分析了介电弛豫机制, 认为束缚Na+对离子数量和胶束体积变化是引起介电增量和特征弛豫时间变化的两个重要原因.     

Ultrafast Relaxation Processes of Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles in the Presence of Au Nanoparticles

Considering the importance of conjugated polymer nanoparticles, major emphasis has been given for designing and understanding the energy transfer and charge transfer processes of organic‐inorganic hybrids for light harvesting applications. In the present study, we have designed an aqueous solution‐based light harvesting system using conjugated polymer nanoparticles (poly[2‐methoxy‐5‐(2‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene], MEH‐PPV) and Au nanoparticles. The change in photo‐induced processes in the presence of metal nanoparticles are studied by steady‐state absorption, time‐resolved emission, time‐resolved fluorescence up‐conversion, ultrafast anisotropy and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Global and target analysis of transient absorption data validate the creation of a collective delocalized state in polymer nanoparticles, and the time scale for excitation energy funnelling from S₁ state to low lying collective delocalized state (CL_s) is 18 ps. Then, the electron transfer from the CL_s state to Au NP occurs with a time constant of 150 ps. The 815 ps long lived charge transfer (CT) state signifies the charge transfer from the CL_s state of polymer nanoparticles to Au NP. Such basic understanding of relaxation processes in hybrid systems is very important for designing inorganic‐organic hybrid light‐harvesting systems.     

On the Chemical Processes Accompanying Silver Reduction from Solutions of Its Salts in Organic Media

Silver reduction from its nitrate has been studied in the media of DGEBA-based and aliphatic epoxy resins. It has been found that, under the experimental conditions that were employed, silver ions can be reduced without chemical interaction with the medium only due to photochemical processes. The reduction rate is determined by the rate of dissolution of the initial silver salt in an organic medium and the possibility of the formation of solvates by the system components. Refractometry has been proposed for use in monitoring the kinetics of silver nitrate dissolution in epoxy resins and the formation of silver nanoparticles. Stable dispersions of silver nanoparticles in epoxy resins have been obtained.     

Photochemical Synthesis of Anisotropic Silver Nanoparticles in Aqueous Solutions in the Presence of Sodium Citrate

The rapid one-step photochemical synthesis of anisotropic silver nanoparticles (ANPs) is reported. Silver ANPs were prepared from silver nitrate by a citrate route in aqueous solutions at room temperature under exposure to unfiltered light of a DRK 120 high-pressure mercury lamp. The silver ANPs form through one-electron reduction of the silver cation in its chelate complex with the production of sodium citrate photolysis. In the course of synthesis, small charged silver clusters and nanoparticles are formed first, which are then stabilized by citrate ions. Key factors that influence the synthesis of silver ANPs and their further transformation have been determined.     

Relaxation Processes and Glass Transition in Polymer Filled with Nanoparticles

We report the results of the investigations of the influence of filling of polymer with Aerosil nanosize particles on the glass transition and dynamics of the α- and the β-relaxation processes in poly(n-octyl methacrylate) by dielectric spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The polymer was filled with hydrophilic and hydrophobic Aerosil particles of 12 nm diameter. In filled polymers the characteristic frequency of the alpha-process was shifted to higher frequencies in comparison with pure bulk polymer at the same temperature. This suggests that the filling of the polymer with nanoparticles has resulted in the shift of its glass transition temperature T_g. This change in T_g was mainly due to the existence of a developed solid particle-polymer interface and the difference in the dynamic behavior of the polymer in the surface layers at this interface compared to the bulk behavior. This result was in agreement with DSC experiments.

We report the simple one‐pot synthesis of size tunable zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) out of an organometallic ZnO precursor using the self‐assembly of solution phase polystyrene‐block‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine) micelles. The resulting hybrid material could be deposited on various substrates in a straightforward manner with the NPs showing size‐dependent absorption and photoluminescence due to the quantum‐size effect. We compare the results to the assembly of preformed NPs which are selectively incorporated in the poly(2‐vinylpyridine) core of the micelles due to the high affinity of ZnO to vinylpyridine.
