Seed Assisted Phase Control of TiOPc: Application of Microfluidic Mixing
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Microfluidic mixing was applied to conventional acid pasting process to re-crystallize organic nanocrystals of Titanyl phthalocyanine (TiOPc). TiOPc nanocrystals were re-crystallized in a two step process. Seed particles were prepared by mixing TiOPc, dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid with deionized water using high speed microchannel mixers. Seed particles were then subjected to post-precipitation treatment to achieve final crystalline product. Effects of seed preparation conditions, such as mixing efficiency (mixer type) and mixing temperature on the structure of final product were studied. Time evolution of optical absorption spectra was examined with a view to elucidate structure evolution during early stages of seed formation process.
