Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the effect of water immersion of guar gum, gelatin and pektin films. Animal-derived gelatin, citrus-derived pektin and natural guar gum made from guar seeds was used to manufacture thin films (using a 2% concentration starting solution) by casting. The biodegradable polymer films were immersed in distilled water before FTIR analysis to absorb water. The immersion time varied between 1 to 15 sec for not to make hydrocolloids, only observe swelling. After 20 sec the biofilms effectively dissolved in the distilled water.

In this study, we have investigated influences of the thickness on the structure, surface morphology and resistive switching characteristics of CrOx thin films prepared by using DC reactive sputtering technique. The Raman and FTIR analysis revealed that multiphases including Cr2O3, CrO2, Cr8O21... phases coexist in the microstructure of CrOx film. It is noticed that the amount of stoichiometric Cr2O3 phase increased significantly as well as the surface morphology were more visible with less voids and more densed particles with larger thickness films. The Ag/CrOx/FTO devices exhibited bipolar resistive switching behavior and high reliability. The resistive switching ratio has decreased slightly with the thickness increments and was best achieved at CrOx – 100 nm devices.

AbstractA surface plasmon resonance mercury sensor was demonstrated by electroless reduction of silver nanoparticles on amorphous silicon thin films. Unlike the previous Ag/Au nanoparticle - Hg interaction investigations, which monitored the blue shift of the dipolar plasmon band of well-dispersed nanoparticles, the present work reveals and explores the red shift of the symmetric hybrid plasmon mode of the interacting nanoparticles in response to Hg vapor exposure. Sensitivity to Hg was explored with varying nanoparticle size, which could be controlled by the immersion time associated with the reduction process. The recovery of the hybrid plasmon band after the Hg exposure was also monitored which was observed to be slower than the recovery of the dipolar plasmon band for noninteracting particles.

AbstractThe initial step of the thermal decomposition of NTO (5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4- triazol-3-one) is determined by pulsed infrared laser pyrolysis of thin films. Rapid heating of the film and quenching to 77 K allows one to trap the initial decomposition products in the condensed phase and analyze them using transmission Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The initial decomposition product is CO2; NO2 and HONO are not observed. We propose a new mechanism for NTO decomposition in which CO2 is formed.
