9-Acridinemethanamine and Acridine-9-Carboxaldehyde as Potential Fluorescence Lifetime pH Indicators
Totland, Christian; Thomas, Peter; Holst, Bodil; Akhtar, Naureen; Hovdenes, Jostein; Skodvin, Tore (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A significant challenge concerning the development of fluorescence lifetime (FL) based pH sensors is the paucity of fluorophores with sufficiently large FL variation with pH. Acridine is amongst the indicators with highest ... -
Graphene and graphene oxide on Ir(111) are transparent to wetting but not to icing
Kyrkjebø, Signe; Cassidy, Andrew; Akhtar, Naureen; Balog, Richard; Scheffler, Martha; Hornekær, Liv; Holst, Bodil; Flatabø, Ranveig (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Anti-icing coatings reduce the freezing onset temperature for water by changing the chemical and physical environment at the water-substrate interface to prevent ice nucleation and growth. Graphene oxide has several ... -
The use of surfactant-filled mesoporous silica as an immobilising medium for a fluorescence lifetime pH indicator, providing long-term calibration stability
Totland, Christian; Thomas, Peter; Holst, Bodil; Hovdenes, Jostein; Akhtar, Naureen; Skodvin, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-14)Surfactant filled mesoporous silica is applied as a matrix for immobilizing the fluorescence lifetime pH-indicator acridine. We demonstrate that this type of encapsulation provides a stable and uniform chemical environment ...
