Room temperature-sintering, poly(acrylic acid)-capped silver nanoparticles (Ag-PAA NPs) were used in a wide range of nanofabrication methods to form metallic silver microstructures on flexible poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrates. Silver wires on top of PET foil were patterned by micromolding in capillaries (MIMIC), and silver wires embedded in SU8 on PET foil were fabricated by wetting-controlled deposition in open microchannels. One hundred mu m-wide Ag microwires with lengths of 5-15 mm, heights of 0.6-2.5 mu m, and a maximum conductivity of a factor 7.3 lower than bulk Ag were obtained. Methanol was studied as an alternative dispersing solvent. It sped up MIMIC drastically, but the low particle packing quality and pre-coalescence in solution resulted in a higher resistivity. The sintering depth was found to be limited to around 100 nm for HCl-vapor induced sintering. Aqueous NaCl, added in a concentration below 50 mM to the Ag-PAA NP ink, was investigated as self-sintering agent. It resulted mainly in strong particle clustering and formation of numerous non-connected grains upon the evaporation of water. A hydrogel reservoir stamping system was used as an alternative printing technique for the transfer of the Ag-PAA NP ink on a PDMS substrate to yield the repetitive printing of arrays of 144 three-micron-wide Ag dots.

Ag nanostructures on a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) film prepared with electrochemical route: A controllable roughened SERS substrate with high repeatability and stability Dogan, Uzeyir; KAYA, MURAT; CİHANER, ATİLLA; Volkan, Mürvet (2012-12-15) A simple, reliable and reproducible one-step electrochemical method for the preparation of surface-enhanced Raman-active polymer-mediated silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on planar indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates was reported. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) film was used as a support material for dispersing nanostructured silver nanostructures on the surface homogeneously, since 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) monomer polymerizes regioregularly. The optical properties and morphologie...
A new method for hydroxychloroquine detection Ünal Taş, Dilek; Persil Çetinkol, Özgül; Department of Chemistry (2022-2-09) Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) possess unique physicochemical and optical properties. Their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) signal depends on size, shape and composition of the nanoparticles and may change with the intermolecular interactions providing opportunity to design distinct detection platforms for ions, metabolites or drugs. Here, a facile, cost-effective, rapid colorimetric method based on the citrate capped AgNPs (Cit-AgNPs) was developed for hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) detection in aqueous...
Sol-gel synthesis of antibacterial silver-doped silica powders from sodium silicate (water glass) Tufan, Evrim Özdem; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2013) Sol-gel processing routes for the synthesis of antibacterial silver-doped silica (Ag-SiO2) powders from an inorganic precursor, sodium silicate (Na2SiO3, water glass), have been established. For the synthesis of SiO2 powders, two different processing approaches were used. In the first one (indirect synthesis), silver ions were incorporated into the immature wet silica gels obtained from sodium silicate by the exposure of the silica gels to aqueous silver nitrate (AgNO3) solutions. In the second one, silver ...
A Point-of-Use (POU) Water Disinfection: Silver Nanowire Decorated Glass Fiber Filters Bahcelioglu, Ecem; Doğanay, Doğa; Coskun, Sahin; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande (2020-12-01) Investigation of a new, low-cost, safe and highly efficient water disinfection alternative to conventional methods has prime importance. This study aims to develop silver nanowire decorated glass fiber (AgNW-GF) filters for the removal of E. coli from water. This is the first study to fabricate a novel AgNW-GF filter and to investigate its use for point-of-use (POU) water disinfection. To this purpose, the effects of flow rate, AgNW loading and influent E. coli concentration on the removal efficiency of E. ...
Effect of carbon nanotube surface treatment on the morphology, electrical, and mechanical properties of the microfiber-reinforced polyethylene/poly(ethylene terephthalate)/carbon nanotube composites Yesil, Sertan; Bayram, Göknur (2013-01-15) The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of carbon nanotube (CNT) chemical properties, CNT content, and molding temperature on the morphology, electrical, and mechanical properties of the microfiber-reinforced polymer composites. These composites were prepared by extrusion and hot stretching the poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/CNT phase in high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix. Surfaces of the CNT were modified by purification with strong acid mixture (HNO3 : H2SO4 mixture 1 : 1 by volume) f...
