The encapsulation of fluorescent dyes inside silica nanoparticles is advantageous to improve their quality as probes. Inside the particle, the fluorophore is protected from the external conditions and its main emission ...

Nanoparticle-based temperature imaging is an emerging field of advanced applications. Herein, the sensitivity of the phosphorescence of tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II)-doped silica nanoparticles towards temperature is studied. ...

We have designed and synthesized a new functional (amino reactive)highly efficient fluorescent molecular switch (FMS) with a photochromicdiarylethene and a rhodamine fluorescent dye. The reactive group in thisFMS ...

The cationic dyes 9-aminoacridine (9AA) and safranine (Sf) were entrapped into silica spheres of about 0.2 mu m diameter prepared by modified Stober method. The fluorescent materials are investigated by steady-state and ...

Core-shell nanoparticles are versatile nanostructures that can be used as luminescent biosensing platforms in many nanotechnological developments. Ultraluminescent fluorescent gold core-shell nanoparticles based on ...

Gold core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized based on metallic cores, variable silica shell spacers covered with modified fluorescent silica layers. Ultraluminescent properties were obtained based on metal-enhanced ...

The purpose of this study was to develop a silica nanoparticle-based immunosensor with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) as a detection system. The proposed device was applied to quantify the immunoreactive trypsin (IRT) ...
