This article describes the preparation of pyrene confined mesostructured silica nanoparticles for the trace detection of trinitrotoluene (TNT) in the aqueous phase. Pyrene confined mesostructured silica nanoparticles were prepared using a facile one-pot method where pyrene molecules were first encapsulated in the hydrophobic parts of cetyltrimethylammonium micelles and then silica polymerized around these micelles. The resulting hybrid particles have sizes of around 75 nm with fairly good size distribution. Also, they are highly dispersible and colloidally stable in water. More importantly, they exhibit bright and highly stable pyrene excimer emission. We demonstrated that excimer emission of the particles exhibits a rapid, sensitive and visual quenching response against TNT. The detection limit for TNT was determined to be 12 nM. Furthermore, excimer emission of pyrene shows significantly high selectivity for TNT.

NANOSTRUCTURE OF SOOT COLLECTED FROM ETHANOL DROPLET FLAMES IN MICROGRAVITY Park, Seul-Hyun; Choi, Mun Young; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) The nanostructure of soot particles collected from spherically symmetric ethanol droplet flames were analyzed using a high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Nanostructure properties, including fringe length and curvature of carbon lamellae, were measured for soot particles collected in various inert environments. The sampling experiments were performed in the reduced gravity environments produced in the NASA 2.2 sec Droptower at the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Microgravity d...
NANOSIZED ZEOLITES AS A PERSPECTIVE MATERIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTROCHEMICAL ENZYME BIOSENSORS Kucherenko, Ivan; Soldatkin, Oleksandr; Saiapina, Olga; Soy, Esin; Ozansoy, Berna; Kirdeciler, Salih Kaan; Öztürk, Seçkin; Akata Kurç, Burcu; Dzyadevych, Sergei (null; 2015-09-15) In this work, the method of enzyme adsorption on different zeolites and mesoporous silica spheres (MSS) was investigated for the creation of conductometric biosensors. The conductometric transducers consisted of gold interdigitated electrodes were placed on the ceramic support. The transducers were modified with zeolites and MSS, and then the enzymes were adsorbed on the transducer surface. Different methods of zeolite attachment to the transducer surface were used; drop coating with heating to 200°C turned...
Nanoparticle adsorption induced configurations of nematic liquid crystal droplets Sengul, Selin; AYDOĞAN, NİHAL; Büküşoğlu, Emre (2022-02-01) Nematic liquid crystal (LC) droplets have been widely used for the detection of molecular species. We investigate the response of micrometer sized nematic LC droplets against the adsorption of nanoparticles from aqueous media. We synthesized ti 100 nm-in-diameter silica nanoparticles and modified their sur-faces to mediate either planar or homeotropic LC anchoring and a pH-dependent charge. We show sur -face functionality-and concentration-dependent configurations of the droplets consistent with the change ...
Chemical Interactions of Nano Islandic Graphene Grown on Titanium Dioxide Substrates by Chemical Vapor Deposition Karamat, S.; Khalique, U.; Usman, Arslan; Javaid, Asad; Oral, Ahmet (2022-03-01) In this work, direct growth of graphene is carried out on TiO2 (110) substrates by chemical vapor deposition. For few device applications, it is convenient to grow graphene directly on the dielectric substrates rather than metal foil to minimize transfer and surface interface defects. Raman spectrum support graphene growth on TiO2 substrate by exhibiting D and G peaks. Graphene covered the whole TiO2 substrate with few areas where higher growth of carbon atoms occurs. The contrast of SEM images clearly show...
