(Original )CNT dispersed in 1% surfactant solution, sonicated at 30 W for 15 minutes, centrifuged at 6000rpm for 30 minutes, decanted and process diluted to ~ 99% and then process repeated
Observations • General shape the same • Intensities different • -most dilute solution has overall lower intensity as expected • -50% dilution shows increase in intensity at most optical frequencies but NOT at the frequency with the highest peak (???) […Saturation?] • Smoothness different • -smoothness of curve decreases as we move from highest to lowest concentration (possibly lower concentrations = increased sensitivity… or not?)
Observations • General shape the same • Peaks more well-defined in higher-power sonication
