Sobre a cristalização de esferas de poliestireno em suspensão aquosa / About crystallization of polystyrene spheres in aqueous suspension

Udo, Maria Keiko 16 August 1979 (has links)
Foi estudada a cristalização de suspensões aquosas de esferas de poliestireno (850&#197, 910&#197 e 1090&#197 de diâmetro) no limite de baixas concentrações -1011 a 1013 esferas / cm3. A dependência do parâmetro de rede com a concentração original (n) da suspensão aquosa apresenta uma transição de fase da fase bcc para fcc, conforme já foi observada por outros autores. Observamos também que durante a cristalização a concentração de esferas no cristal Ra sistematicamente maior do que na solução original, portanto a água estaria sendo expelida para a solução durante a cristalização. Baseado nestas observações nós propomos um modelo de cristalização onde os cristalites (concentração n1) estão em equilíbrio termodinâmico com uma solução com concentração n2 (n1&#62 n &#62 n2), dando para cada concentração inicial um diferente parâmetro de rede determinado por este equilíbrio. Nossos resultados mostraram que o coeficiente de expulsão da água durante a cristalização é dependente do raio da esfera. Para realizar as medidas de parâmetro de rede nós adaptamos para as nossas condições particulares o método de Debye-Scherrer usado em difração de raios-X por cristais. O equivalente à fonte de raios-X era um laser de Argônio com comprimentos de onda variáveis. Diversas experiências novas são sugeridas. / The crystallization of aqueous suspensions of polystyrene spheres 850&#197, 910&#197 and 1090&#197 of diameter) was studied in the limit of low concentration -1011 to 1013 spheres / cm3. The dependence of the lattice parameter with the original concentration (n) of the aqueous suspension shows a phase transition from bcc to fcc phase as it was already been observed by others authors. We also observed that during crystallization the concentration of spheres in the crystal was systematically higher than in the original solution, showing that water should be expelled toward the solution during crystallization where the crystallites (concentration n1) are in thermodynamic equilibrium with a solution with concentration n2 (n1&#62 n &#62 n2) giving for each initial concentration a different lattice parameter determined by this equilibrium. Our results showed that coefficient of water rejection during crystallization is dependent on the sphere radius. In order to make the measurements of the lattice parameter we adapted to our particular conditions the Debye-Scherrer method used in X-ray diffraction of crystals. The equivalent to the X-ray source was a tunable Argon laser. Several new experiments are suggested.

Fabrication and Characterization of High Surface Area Gold Electrodes

Damle, Madhura S 01 January 2014 (has links)
High surface area gold electrodes are very good substrates for biosensors, catalysis and drug delivery. Their performance is characterized by good sensitivity, low detection limit and high signal. As a result, extensive research is being carried out in this field using different approaches of fabrication to generate high surface area porous electrodes of different morphology, pore size and structure. The morphology of the electrodes can be changed based on whether the approach involves a template or not, types of metal deposition, method and time of dealloying etc. The deposition of metal can be carried out using various approaches such as electroless deposition, electrochemical deposition, combination of electroless and electrochemical deposition, pulsed laser deposition, laser deposition etc. These electrodes can then be used in electrochemical measurements and their performance compared with an unmodified flat gold electrode. We used a template based approach, combined with electrochemical deposition, to fabricate macroporous, macro-nanoporous and nanoporous gold electrodes. To generate nanopores, in case of macro-nanoporous and nanoporous gold electrodes, we used gold-silver alloy electrochemical deposition method, followed by chemical dealloying. The morphology of electrodes was later observed under HITACHI Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and their elemental composition studied using HITACHI Energy Dispersion Spectroscopy (EDS). The electrodes were used in electrochemical measurements and their voltammetric data was compared. These measurements involved the determination of surface area, faradaic current using redox molecules with fast and slow electron transfer and charging current in KCl. Surface adsorption of dopamine was studied and detection of dopamine in the presence of ascorbic acid was carried out.
