Abstract

Aggregations, created in 2-component suspension inside the optical trap zone were studied. Particles of porous glass-ceramic of CaO-TiO2-P2O5 composition and 1–50 um size were mixed with BSA molecules in water or with CdSe-TOPO 20 nm particles in toluene. Dynamic aggregations up to 300 um size were created inside the optical trap. These aggregations in comparison with one-component aggregations have a 30% higher growth rate. This effect could be explained by the stronger bonding of the protein molecules and CdSe-TOPO particles inside the glass-ceramic particle aggregations. Micro-Raman spectra, taken from dynamic and stable permanent aggregations show several new peaks, possibly associated with creation of chemical bonds.
