Emerging strategies for assembling inorganic nanoparticles into ensembles with multiscale organization are establishing a new paradigm the synthesis of devices and functional materials applications ranging from drug delivery to photonics. In this work, solution self-assembly amphiphilic ionic block copolymers morphologically tunable aggregates provides inspiration design strategy nanoparticle building blocks essential chemical conformational features copolymer chains in aqueous media. We...
In this study, a new and efficient analytical method was developed to determine hexavalent chromium, Cr (VI), in water by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). This consists on the simultaneous selective extraction preconcentration of (VI) dispersive solid phase (DSPE), using Zn-Al layered double hydroxide intercalated with l-Alanine (ZnAl-ALA-LDH) as adsorbent. Experimental parameters that influence (IV) determination efficiency, such pH, time interfering ions were studied optimized....
The interaction of emeraldine base polyaniline (EB) with Cu(II), Fe(III), and Zn(II) in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) solution was monitored using electronic UV−vis−NIR, resonance Raman, electron paramagnetic (EPR) spectroscopies. films prepared from these solutions were also spectroscopically characterized. It demonstrated that the nature products (semiquinone quinone segments) formed EB metal ions is strongly dependent on cation, metal/EB molar ratio, concentration components. presence...
Nanocompósitos à base de amido mandioca, argila sintética hectorita e açúcar invertido (plastificante) foram preparados por processo em meio aquoso (casting) produzindo filmes transparentes homogêneos.Pequenas quantidades (5-15% massa) produzem principalmente nanocompósitos esfoliados, enquanto grandes (30% promovem a formação intercalados.Os espectros FT-Raman mostram que bandas sensíveis ligação hidrogênio grânulos são progressivamente deslocadas para frequências menores quando o teor é...
This work deals with the spectroscopic (supported by quantum chemistry calculations), structural, and morphological characterization of mefenamic acid (2-[(2,3-(dimethylphenyl)amino] benzoic acid) polymorphs, known as forms I II. Polymorph was obtained recrystallization in ethanol, while form II reached heating up to 175 °C, promote solid phase transition. Experimental theoretical vibrational band assignments were performed considering presence centrosymmetric dimers. Besides shifts...
This work emphasizes the important role of synthetic parameters in structure polymeric material obtained aniline polymerization. The polymers formed by oxidative polymerization copper(II) ions acidic aqueous solution, acetonitrile/water medium, and also acetate complex encapsulated into MCM-41 molecular sieve were characterized resonance Raman spectroscopy using three exciting laser lines other techniques such as UV−vis, FTIR, XANES (Nitrogen K edge). Additionally products investigated...
Abstract Hybrid materials were prepared by combining clay mineral (montmorillonite SWy‐2 and saponite SapCa‐1) dyes extracted from the açaí ( Euterpe oleracea Mart. ) fruit, which contains mainly anthocyanins 3‐glucoside class, to increase stability of dye facilitate its handling storage. Clay minerals are common ingredients in therapeutic pharmaceutical products phytochemicals show disease prevention properties. The extract fruit was mixed with water suspensions layered silicates different...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the chemical interaction between carboxyl-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled (MWNTs) with in situ chemically polymerized polypyrrole (PPy) films (approximately 8 nm) by resonance Raman spectroscopy. composites (SWNT/PPy MWNT/PPy) were synthesized using nitric acid functionalized as starting material. resulting characterized transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) spectroscopy (λexc. = 514.5, 632.8, 785 nm). TEM...
The interaction of emeraldine base (PANI-EB) with silver and gold colloids was probed by using Surface-Enhanced Resonance Raman Scattering (SERRS) at 3 different exciting radiations. Due to the great sensitivity SERRS technique detection limit PANI-EB concentration ca. 2 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) in Ag Au colloidal suspensions. UV-vis-NIR spectra metal function concentrations showed that present a higher degree aggregation than colloids. on allowed study polymeric species formed primarily metallic...
A biosensor was developed for directly detecting human immunoglobulin G (IgG) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) based on stable reproducible gold nanoparticles/polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (AuNP/PS-b-P2VP) nanocomposites.
