This paper describes a method for the synthesis of silica nanoparticles that can be later used for coating of quantum dots inside a microfluidic reactor. Here, a droplet-based system is used where two reagents were mixed inside the droplets to obtain silica. Particles in the size range of 25 +/- 2.7 nm were obtained with comparable size distribution to controlled batch wise synthesis methods. This method is suitable to be used later to coat CdSe nanoparticles inside the microreactor.

SILICA SYNTHESIS & COATING OF QUANTUM DOTS IN DROPLET BASED MICROREACTORS
Ozkan, Alican; Keleştemur, Yusuf; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Erdem, E. Yegan (2015-01-01)
We present a microfluidic reactor that utilizes meandering microchannel shape to mix reagents inside droplets in a carrier fluid to synthesize silica and silica coated nanoparticles. Meandering channels decrease mixing time due to reduced diffusion lengths. Moreover; droplet-based flow provides uniform reaction times due to the circulating flow profile inside droplets as opposed to parabolic flow profile in straight channels. Before fabricating our device, we have simulated the mixing performance of droplet...
Colloid-in-Liquid Crystal Gels that Respond to Biomolecular Interactions
Agarwal, Ankit; Sidiq, Sumyra; Setia, Shilpa; Büküşoğlu, Emre; de Pablo, Juan Jose; Pal, Santanu Kumar; Abbott, Nicholas L (Wiley, 2013-08-26)
This paper advances the design of stimuli-responsive materials based on colloidal particles dispersed in liquid crystals (LCs). Specifically, thin films of colloid-in-liquid crystal (CLC) gels undergo easily visualized ordering transitions in response to reversible and irreversible (enzymatic) biomolecular interactions occurring at the aqueous interfaces of the gels. In particular, LC ordering transitions can propagate across the entire thickness of the gels. However, confinement of the LC to small domains ...

ATEŞ, MURAT; Cinar, Damla; Caliskan, Sinan; GEÇGEL, ÜNAL; ÜNER, OSMAN; BAYRAK, YÜKSEL; Candan, Idris (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01)
Activated carbons (ACs) are successfully synthesized from Elaeagnus grain by a simple chemical synthesis methodology and demonstrated as novel, suitable supercapacitor electrode materials for graphene hydrogel (GH)/AC nanocomposites. GH/AC nanocomposites are synthesized via hydrothermal process at temperature of 180 degrees C. The low-temperature thermal exfoliation approach is convenient for mass production of graphene hydrogel (GH) at low cost and it can be used as electrode material for energy storage ap...
Palladium nanoparticles supported on chemically derived graphene: An efficient and reusable catalyst for the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane
Metin, Onder; Kayhan, Emine; Özkar, Saim; Schneider, Jorg J. (2012-05-01)
Chemically derived graphene (CDG) was prepared by hydrazine hydrate reduction of graphene oxide and used as support for palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) generated ex situ with controllable particle size and dispersion. The Pd NPs supported on CDG were well characterized by using a combination of advance analytical techniques and employed as catalyst in the dehydrogenation and hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) in organic solvents and aqueous solutions, respectively. Monodisperse Pd NPs of 4.5 nm were prepare...
Dielectric and Thermal Effects on the Optical Properties of Natural Dyes: A Case Study on Solvated Cyanin
Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış; Gebauer, Ralph; Varsano, Daniele; Baroni, Stefano (2011-10-05)
The optical properties of the flavylium state of the cyanin dye are simulated numerically by combining Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics and linear-response time-dependent density functional theory calculations. The spectrum of the dye calculated in the gas phase is characterized by two peaks in the yellow and in the blue (green and violet), using a GGA-PBE (hybrid-B3LYP) DFT functional, which would bring about a greenish (bright orange) color incompatible with the dark purple hue observed in nature. Descri...
