In this study thin copper (Cu) films are deposited on poly tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) substrate using ion beam sputtering technique. The films are characterized using Raman spectroscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy and atomic force microscope (AFM) techniques. The Raman spectrum shows some decrease in the intensities of Raman bands for Cu/PTFE film than pristine PTFE. UV-VIS transmittance spectra display that the optical transmission reduces from similar to 75% for pristine PTFE to similar to 0.20% after 60 min of deposition due to Cu nanoparticles dispersed in PTFE. The surface roughness is increased from 39.4 nm for PTFE to 75.9 nm, while the adhesion force is increased from 9.6 nN to 14.7 nN and Young's modulus is enhanced from 0.58 GPa to 1.46 GPa after 40 min of Cu deposition time. The DC electrical conductivity at an applied voltage of 200 V is improved from 3.88 x 10(-8) S.cm(-1) for PTFE to 5.3 x 10(-8) S.cm(-1) after 60 min of deposition at room temperature. The fabricated Cu/PTFE films exhibit excellent surface properties, which demote that Cu/PTFE films could serve as a low cost material for a broad range of electrical and charge storing devices.

In this study, dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is applied for solving the unsteady flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid in channels under the effect of an externally applied magnetic field and buoyancy force. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations are coupled with the energy equation due to the heat transfer by means of the Boussinessq approximation. Then, the 20 non-dimensional full MHD equations in terms of stream function, temperature, magnetic potential, curren...
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy via gold nanostars
Nalbant Esentürk, Emren (Wiley, 2009-01-01)
Anisotropic metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have unique optical properties, which lend them to applications such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. Star-shaped gold (Au) NPs were prepared in aqueous solutions by the seed-mediated growth method and tested for Raman enhancement using 2-mercaptopyridine (2-MPy) and crystal violet (CV) probing molecules. For both molecules, the SERS activity of the nanostars was notably stronger than that of the spherical Au NPs of similar size. The Raman en...

The surface composition and surface free energy properties of two types of amphiphilic and semicrystalline diblock copolymers consisting of poly(L-lactic acid) coupled to (methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (PLLA-MePEG) having differing block lengths of PEG were investigated by using static and dynamic contact angle measurements, transmission Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and attenuated total reflection spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and compared with results obtained from PLLA and MePEG homopolymers. The conta...

Hasanlı, Nızamı; GONCHAROV, AF; MELNIK, NN; VINOGRADOV, EA (1983-01-01)
Polarized IR reflection and Raman scattering spectra have been studied in solid solutions based on TlSe structural type chain single crystals. The results of processing the IR spectra of mixed crystals are analyzed from the standpoint of a random-element-isodisplacements (REI) model extended to the case of many oscillators. In the case of the formation of mixed cells in solid solutions, respective modes have been observed in IR reflection and Raman scattering spectra.

This study is aimed to remove Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions by adsorption. As adsorbent, activated carbon prepared from olive stone, an agricultural solid by-product was used. Different activating agent (ZnCl2) amounts and adsorbent particle size were studied to optimize adsorbent surface area. The adsorption experiments were conducted at different parameters such as, adsorbent dose, temperature, equilibrium time and pH. According to the experiments results, the equilibrium time, optimum pH, adsorbent ...
