By combining vertical deposition with micro- molding in capillaries method, we have demonstrated the two-substrate vertical deposition, an alternative and versatile procedure for fabricating high-quality stable colloidal crystal chips. Apparent bright colors, special UV-vis spectra, scan- ning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force micros- copy (AFM) images all prove that high-quality colloidal crystal structures are formed in between the two substrates. During the two-substrate vertical deposition for colloidal crystal chips, capillary force and evaporation of the medium are critical to the formation of the colloidal crystals; while the confinement in between two close substrates makes the resulting colloidal crystal chips more stable. Due to the ex- cellent stability, these colloidal crystal chips can be used to construct some composite optical devices via a simpler and more flexible process. Meanwhile, they can also be further used as the templates for ordered multiporous materials.
Eu(DBM) 3·H 2O nanocrystallites were obtained by the chemical precipitation method.By the elemental analyzer,infrared spectrum,TGA-DSC and TEM,that the construction of nanocrystallines,the thermal properties and size were confirmed,in addition,fluorescence excitation and emission spectrum,ultraviolet absorption spectrums were investigation.Then the nanocrystallines were incorporated into the copolymer system of styrene and methyl acrylic acid,the fluorescence functional polymer nanometer material with high lanthanide content (50、wt%) were obtained.The experiment indicated that Eu(DBM) 3·H 2O nanocrystallines particle sizes were in 30～300、nm,it exhibited europium ion charlatanistic luminescence.The optical resins could provide a relatively stable environment for Eu(DBM) 3·H 2O nanocrystallines.
A variety of polymerizable surfactants were used for aqueous CdTe nanocrystals encapsulation. The luminescent intensity and the solubility of surfactants encapsulated with CdTe nanocrystals can be tailored by choosing the surfactants with different hydrocarbon chain lengths. The ability to encapsulate different color emission nanocrystals with polymerizable surfactants gives great promise for the fabrication of transparent bulk nanocrystal-polymer hybrids.
Highly fluorescent CdTe nanocrystals were synthesized in aqueous solution, and then processible CdTe nanocrystal-polymer composites were fabricated by coating the aqueous nanocrystals with copolymers of styrene and octadecyl-p-vinyl-benzyldimethylammonium chloride (SOV- DAC) directly. A dichloromethane solution of CdTe nano- crystal-polymer composites was dispersed in the aqueous solution of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) generating highly fluo- rescent microspheres. Experimental parameters such as the concentration of nanocrystal-polymer composites, the con- centration of PVA, and stirring speed which had important effect on the preparation of the microspheres were investi- gated in detail with fluorescent microscope characterization.
