Abstract: | Ablation with excimer laser pulses on polycarbonate (PC) film has been performed in ultrapure water. It is demonstrated that it is a new efficient method for organic nanoparticles (ONP) suspensions synthesis. Proof of the formation of ONP is given by analysis of the water phase with AFM and UV-vis spectroscopy. The obtained transmission measurements are approached with the aid of Mie theory to estimate composition of suspensions. Results indicate that the polycarbonate film is partly ablated into nanometric particles with size ranging from 8 up to 180 nm. This is also supported by force atomic microscopy. Confocal Raman microspectroscopy was done directly on water suspensions. Thanks to the optical trapping phenomenon of the nanoparticles, their vibrational Raman spectrum was more easily obtained. Original polycarbonate is lost although some polymeric structures are detected along with graphitic carbon. |
