Spectroscopic studies on Rhodamine B intercalated K-10 montmorillonite aqueous dispersions. Issue 1 (17th February 2015) - Joseph, Lyjo K
Abstract: In this paper, the optical absorption and fluorescence studies on rhodamine B (RB) intercalated acid activated K-10 montmorillonite dispersions is presented. The aqueous dispersions were prepared from the dried dye intercalated montmorillonite. The absorption and fluorescence peaks of RB dispersions show a bathochromic shift with respect to the dye concentrations. The samples have a fluorescent emission at 421 nm which is having an intensity variation depending on the concentration of the dyes. The behaviour of samples of same concentration prepared by two different routes is also presented.
