A Study on the Charateristics of ORMOSIL as a Dye Host by Measurement of UV/VIS Spectrophotometer

UV-VIS Spectrophotometer를 이용한 ORMOSIL의 투광특성

Through sol-gel process, inorganic/organic composite as a dye host was made. It was observed that this composite has about 90% of trnasmittance by UV/VIS spectrophotometer. The transmittance is the most important requirement to decide whether the composite could apply or not as the dye host. The transmittance was increased with decreasing HCl as a catalyst, aging time, and amount of PDMS. Also, fluorescent and transmittant charateristics of Rhodamine 6G Perchlorate that was doped into ORMOSIL were measured. The fluorescent intensity was increased and the trnasmittance was decreased with rising gelling temperature.

졸-겔법에 의해 dye host로 사용될 수 있는 무기/유기 복합체(ORMOSIL)를 제조하였으며, 이 복합체가 dye host로 적합한 조건을 갖췄음을 UV/VIS Spectrophotometer를 이용하여 90% 정도의 투광성을 얻음으로써 알 수 있었다. 이 투광성은 졸-겔 공정 중 촉매로 쓰이는 염산의 양이 적고 묵힘시간이 짧을수록 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이렇게 제조된 Host에 Rhodamine 6G Perchlorate를 도핑하여 유기염료의 형광 및 투광성을 측정한 결과 겔화온도가 증가될수록 형광 강도가 증가하며 투광성은 감소하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.
