Preparation and characterisation of Ag incorporated Al2O3 nanocomposite films obtained by sol‐gel method

Sol‐gel route has been applied for a deposition of the thin films of aluminum oxide and Ag embedded in Al₂O₃ films. The films are spin‐coated on Si and quartz substrates with the film thickness of 120 nm. XRD analysis has been used for the determination of the film structure. FTIR spectroscopy is applied for studying vibrational properties of the obtained coatings. Optical characterization is done by UV‐VIS spectroscopy. The formation of Ag nanoparticles has been confirmed by XRD and optical data. The sol‐gel process is found to be useful technology for incorporation of Ag nanoparticles in the metal oxide matrices.

Patterned Deposition of Sol-Gel Thin Films Using an Airbrush

ABSTRACT

In this article, we present a method to pattern glass substrates with sol-gel derived thin films. This method is based on the aerosol deposition of sol-gel precursor solutions using an inexpensive, commercially available airbrush. The technique was demonstrated using Cy5-doped sol-gel thin films for the creation of wavelength conversion devices. The films deposited were mechanically and chemically rigid, and patterns could be achieved with a resolution limit of approximately 250 μm. Constructing channel waveguides was also attempted using both zirconium- and titanium-based sol-gel thin films. Deposited thin films of these materials showed graininess that limited the ability to couple light into the films and increased the observed scatter. However, light was successfully coupled into the titanium-based sol-gel film using small lens-like structures created on the glass surface.     

漆酶在纳米金溶胶/多重壁碳纳米管复合载体上固定方法的比较及粒子尺寸效应

以纳米金溶胶（NGS）和多重壁碳纳米管（MWCNTs）的共混物(NGS/MWCNTs)作为固定漆酶的载体,研究了3种固定漆酶方法在酶固定量、比活力上的差异。 研究了不同的固定方法对固定酶热稳定性和重复使用性及纳米金溶胶颗粒粒径对酶固定量和固定酶动力学参数的影响。 实验结果表明,NGS/MWCNTs具有良好的固定漆酶能力和高固酶比活力,NGS/MWCNTs（NGS粒径37 nm）通过简单物理吸附法固定漆酶的量和固酶的比活力最高,分别可达33.80 mg/g和9.433 U/mg。 在NGS-MWCNTs上采用化学键合方法固定的漆酶在70 ℃放置2 h后仍然保持初始活力的75％,重复使用20次后仍保持初始活力的70％。 纳米金溶胶粒子越小（24 nm）,底物和固定漆酶间亲和力越好（KM=0.027 mmol/L）,表观速率常数越大。     

三嵌段共聚物EO20PO70EO20相分离行为的耗散粒子动力学模拟

采用耗散粒子动力学(DPD)方法研究了嵌段共聚物EO₂₀PO₇₀EO₂₀(P123)在水、乙醇/水溶液及二氧化硅溶胶体系中的相分离行为. 不同质量分数的P123在水溶液中共形成4种相分离状态: 球状胶束(10%); 椭球胶束(20%)、棒状胶束(30%)和三维立方胶束(50%). 在模板剂质量分数为10%的乙醇/水溶液中, 模板剂胶束稳定性随着乙醇含量的增加而变差. 在二氧化硅溶胶体系中, 模板剂质量分数低于5%时无胶束形成; 模板剂质量分数增至10%时, P123发生相分离形成三维球状胶束; 随着模板剂质量分数的进一步增加, 模板剂分子夹含着水分子形成三维椭球状结构(20%)、三维立方结构(40%)和层状结构(60%). 模拟结果与实验结果一致, 说明DPD模拟可以从计算角度推测模板剂对介孔材料结构的影响.

嵌段共聚物对SiO_2溶胶-凝胶过程的修饰行为

近年来,人们利用对溶胶凝胶(ＳｏｌＧｅｌ)化学的认识,通过表面活性剂调控硅醇盐水解缩聚反应过程和对溶胶表面进行修饰以获得在一定范围内可控结构和可控粒度的纳米材料［１,２］,但对ＳｉＯ２溶胶凝胶过程的改性机理尚待深入研究。在溶胶凝胶过程中,溶胶粒子和网络结构主要受该体系中晶核形成与生长机制以及颗粒之间作用力所控制,这是实施溶胶网络结构形貌控制的理论依据。本文考察了聚氧乙烯醚(ＰＥＯ)聚氧丙烯醚(ＰＰＯ)聚氧乙烯醚(ＰＥＯ)嵌段共聚物(简称ＥＰＥ)作为改性剂对ＳｉＯ２溶胶凝胶化过程的修饰行为,探讨了改性ＳｉＯ２溶胶…     

Portable Fibre Optic Oxygen Sensor Based on Room-Temperature Phosphor escence Lifetime

 A portable fibre optic instrument for oxygen sensing based on luminescence lifetime is presented. The instrument is based on measurement of the quenching by oxygen of the room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emitted by aluminium tris(8-hydroxy-7-iodo-5-quinolinesulfonic acid) chelate incorporated in an inorganic matrix by sol–gel technology. The comparatively long RTP lifetime of this sensing material (450 μs) and the large singlet–triplet splitting (λ_exc 390 nm, λ_em 590 nm) allow the use of simple opto-electronic circuits and low-cost processing electronics. Standard electronic components have been applied in development of the low-cost lifetime-measurement instrumentation presented here. Two optical sensor configurations, “flow-through cell” and “probe”, have been designed and evaluated for the determination of very low levels of oxygen, in gaseous argon streams and in waters. The basic technology, design parameters and performance characteristics of the optical sensors are discussed. Applications to determination of dissolved oxygen in river, tap and sewage waters are described. The advantages of luminescence lifetime measurements over conventional RTP intensity measurements for oxygen sensing are discussed. Received April 1, 1999. Revision November 4, 1999.
