Elucidation of interaction between metal-free tetraphenylporphine and surface Ag atoms through temporal fluctuation of surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering and background-light emission

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted by applying time-resolved surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) to the single Ag nanoaggregates on which tetraphenylporphine ([H.sub.2]TPP) molecules are adsorbed to reveal chemical interaction between [H.sub.2]TPP molecules and Ag surfaces. The observation attributed background-light emission to luminescence of complexes between [H.sub.2]TPP molecules and surface Ag atoms considering possible formation of Ag-N bonds synchronized SERRS intensity with background-light emission intensity.

Miscibility and hydrogen-bonding interactions in biodegradable polymer blends of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and a partially hydrolyzed poly(vinyl alcohol)

Article Abstract:

Miscibility and hydrogen-bonding interactions, as well as the morphological properties of biodegradable polymer blends of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and a 80% hydrolyzed poly(vinyl alcohol) were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It was found that PHB is miscible with poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA80) in the amorphous phase over the whole composition range.
