Poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) and the utilized solvents were acquired from Sigma Aldrich (now Merck), St. Louis, MO, USA. The chemical structure of the polymer is displayed in Scheme 1.
The polymer solutions were prepared by dissolving 2.5 g of PPO powder in 100 mL of each of the following solvents, acquired from Sigma Aldrich (now Merck): benzonitrile (anhydrous, ≥99%), carbon disulfide (anhydrous, ≥99%), chloroform (anhydrous, ≥99%, contained 0.5–1.0% ethanol as a stabilizer), ethyl acetate (anhydrous, ≥99.8%), and p-dioxane (anhydrous, ≥99.8%). The pH of the polymer solutions did not vary intentionally during experiments, and the small variations were caused by the combination of PPO (pH = 4) with the selected solvents having pH values comprised between 4 and 7.

Open Microcavity Fabrication Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Methyl salicylate (99%), methylcyclohexane (99%), benzonitrile (99%), toluene (99%), and polyvinyl acetate (MW: 100 000) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used without further purification. CaF 2 windows (diameter: 25.0 mm, thickness: 5.0 mm) were purchased from Crystran LTD, while a mirror mount with a piezoelectric adjuster and a voltage controller were purchased from Thorlabs, Inc.
Open microcavity preparation 54, 55 The Ag films, typically 10 nm thick (unless otherwise explicitly stated), were deposited on a CaF 2 substrate by a high vacuum sputter coater (Leica EM MED 020 coating system). The thickness of the metal film was controlled using a quartz microbalance film thickness monitoring system (EM QSG100) as a reference during sputtering. The microcavity was realized by bringing the Ag-coated CaF 2 windows in close proximity and by carefully controlling their parallelism with the kinematic mirror holders. Subsequently, the cavity was filled by adding a few droplets of an appropriate solution onto the edges of the CaF 2 windows using a micropipette. The solution flowed into the cavity by capillary action and remained stable between the mirrors during the entire experiment.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
