Aerogel-Lined Capillaries as Liquid-Core Waveguides for Raman Signal Gain of Aqueous Samples: Advanced Manufacturing and Performance Characterization

Blog Article

An advanced process citronella horse shampoo for the manufacturing of aerogel-lined capillaries is presented; these are applicable as liquid-core waveguides for gaining the Raman signal of aqueous samples.With respect to the spin-coating process we have used so far for the manufacturing of aerogel-lined capillaries, the here-presented manufacturing process is advanced as it enables (i) the lining of longer capillaries, (ii) the adjustment of the lining-thickness via the lining velocity, and (iii) the reproducible generation of crack-free linings.The key parameters of the advanced process and their effect on the fabrication of aerogel-lined capillaries with optimal Raman signal gain are reported and trailmaster challenger 200x related to the thickness and topography of the aerogel linings by the support of scanning electron microscopy.
