We report on the synthesis and detailed characterization of dendrimers that evolve symmetrically from a linear core of 2-butyne-1,4-diol with 3,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol based dendron arms. The divergent layer-by-layer build-up of the dumbbell-shaped dendrimers is based on simple acid–base hydrolytic chemistry of bis(dimethylamino)dimethylsilane with OH-terminated molecules. The self-assembly of these dendrimers in THF and water is significantly influenced by their generation number, the backbone structure, and the solvent.Key words: dendrimers, divergent synthesis, macromolecules, self-assembly

Nano-sheets are two-dimensional sheet materials exfoliated from the inorganic layered compounds by various physical and chemical methods. Their unique characteristics insertion reaction and excellent physical and chemical properties have attracted more and more researchers' widespread interests. Selecting quartz glass as the substrate, using layer by layer self-assembly technology, different nano-films materials are prepared. UV/Vis spectroscopy confirmed nano-films materials have been successfully assembled using LBL self-assembly technique. Raman spectrum are mainly used to analyze and characterize the structure of nano-films materials.

Using TiO2 particles obtained by hydrolysis of titanium oxysulfate as the precursor, polystyrene (PS) microspheres as the template, TiO2/PS complex particles were successfully deposited on Ti substrates through layer-by-layer self-assembly technique and the surfactant-assisted process at low temperature. Then removed PS spheres by two methods, TiO2 hollow spheres were attained. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to characterize the synthesized materials. The results showed that the crystallization, structure and surface morphology of TiO2/PS on the surface have a great relationship with the pH value of treating solution. Diversity effects on surface integrity and bioactive of hollow spheres happened due to different ways of removing PS core.

ABSTRACTA technique of Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self-assembly is used to deposit SnO2 nanoparticles on Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) resonators, and on glass substrates which the authors believe has not been previously reported. Characterization of self-assembled SnO2 layers has been performed using QCM, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Zeta Potential analysis.We have successfully deposited SnO2 nanoparticles on QCM resonator using self-assembly technique. LbL self-assembly is a method of organization of ultra-thin films by interlayer electrostatic attraction. The thickness and mass of the self-assembled layers can be characterized by the frequency shift obtained using the QCM and empirical equations relating change in frequency with mass and thickness of deposited layers. The deposition of SnO2 nanolayers exhibited a linear reproducibility and the process of self-assembly was independent of the residence time of QCM resonator in the SnO2 nanoparticle colloidal solution. High resolution SEM analysis reveals that the SnO2 nanoparticle layers are uniformly deposited across the entire substrate. Electrical characterization was performed on SnO2 nanoparticle layers self-assembled on glass substrates which were patterned for two point (current-voltage) IV characteristic measurements. Two classes of samples were used. One sample was self-assembled glass substrate patterned with electrical contacts and calcined (baked at 350°C for one hour) to eliminate interlayered polyions and the other sample was not calcined. Results revealed that the calcined samples demonstrated linear ohmic behavior but the uncalcined showed some spurious points which we believe are due to the polyion layers.Characterization of the self-assembled SnO2 nanoparticles is being carried out with the intention of fabricating a high-selectivity μ-gas sensor. A test chamber has been fabricated and results of resistance behavior of the sensor with variation in temperature have been presented.The sensor can find applications in high selectivity sensing of chemical, industrial, domestic, and hazardous environments. After further research and development, this μ-gas sensors could be made generic to sense a variety of gases and employed for integrated on-chip product analysis in multiple chemical microsystem applications.
