چکیده
In this communication we describe a new approach to the fabrication of fluorescent silver/polymer nanohybrids with thermo-switchable metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF). By manipulating a soft polymer spacer between the silver nanoparticles and the fluorophores a tunable MEF was achieved.

Metal-Enhanced S1 and Alpha- S1 Fluorescence: Effects of Far-Field Excitation Irradiance on Enhanced Fluorescence
Metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) and delayed fluorescence (alpha α-S1) studies of acriflavin have been undertaken using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements on silver island films (SiFs) supporting a thin poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) polymer film. Nearly a 3.5-fold enhancement in the far-field fluorescence intensity of acriflavin is observed coupled with a decrease in decay ti...
متن کاملRational design of a thermalresponsive-polymer-switchable FRET system for enhancing the temperature sensitivity of upconversion nanophosphors.
Here we propose a thermoresponsive polymer PNIPAM modulated fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system to enhance the temperature sensitivity of upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs). By utilizing red/near-infrared dual emitting NaLuF4:Mn(2+),Ln(3+) (Ln(3+) = Yb(3+), Er(3+), Tm(3+)) UCNPs as the energy donor and Au nanoparticles as the acceptor, the temperature resolution of the UCNPs is...
متن کاملFunctionalization of strongly interacting magnetic nanocubes with (thermo)responsive coating and their application in hyperthermia and heat-triggered drug delivery.
Herein, we prepare nanohybrids by incorporating iron oxide nanocubes (cubic-IONPs) within a thermoresponsive polymer shell that can act as drug carriers for doxorubicin(doxo). The cubic-shaped nanoparticles employed are at the interface between superparamagnetic and ferromagnetic behavior and have an exceptionally high specific absorption rate (SAR), but their functionalization is extremely cha...
متن کاملControl of surface plasmon localization via self-assembly of silver nanoparticles along silver nanowires.
A simple and low-cost method to create metal-metal hybrid nanostructures possessing fairly regularly spaced "hot-spots" of surface plasmon resonances is proposed. The nanohybrid structure was prepared via self-assembly during a simple drop-casting procedure, using chemically synthesized silver nanowires and silver nanoparticles prepared in a single batch of a polyol process. Wide field illumina...
