Fluorescent imaging is widely used in the diagnosis and tracking of the distribution, interaction, and transformation processes at molecular, cellular, and tissue levels. To be detectable, delivery systems should exhibit a strong and bright fluorescence. Quantum dots (QDs) are highly photostable fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals with wide absorption spectra and narrow, size-tunable emission spectra, which make them suitable fluorescent nanolabels to be embedded into microparticles used as bioimaging and theranostic agents. The layer-by-layer deposition approach allows the entrapping of QDs, resulting in bright fluorescent microcapsules with tunable surface charge, size, rigidity, and functional properties. Here, we report on the engineering and validation of the structural and photoluminescent characteristics of nanoparticle-doped hybrid microcapsules assembled by the deposition of alternating oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, water-soluble PEGylated core/shell QDs with a cadmium selenide core and a zinc sulfide shell (CdSe/ZnS), and carboxylated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) onto calcium carbonate microtemplates. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the layer-by-layer approach to designing QD-, MNP-doped microcapsules with controlled photoluminescence properties, and pave the way for the further development of next-generation bioimaging agents based on hybrid materials for continuous fluorescence imaging.

Heterojunction of hydrophobic poly(1,4-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) on hydrophilic CdS nanoparticles was successfully prepared by the multi-layering of poly(p-xylene tetrahydrothiophenium chloride) (pre-PPV: precursor of PPV polymer) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) in an aqueous solution followed by a thermal treatment. CdS nanoparticles thin films were prepared on tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) by a chemical-bath-deposition method. The CdS surface was hydrophilic with low water contact angle of 15°. Positively charged and water-soluble pre-PPV was used to form multilayers with PEDOT:PSS by a layer-by-layer deposition method. Pre-PPV is easily converted to conjugated PPV polymer by a thermal treatment. The CdS nanoparticles-(PPV/PEDOT:PSS) multilayer films constitute efficient acceptor-sensitizer dyad systems, which generate a photocurrent of 2,660 nA/cm2 under the air mass (AM) 1.5 conditions (I = 100 mW/cm2) for sample with 4.5 bilayers.

We developed a thin film growth with a radical-initiated cross-linking of vinyl groups in a layer-by-layer manner via molecular layer deposition (MLD). The cross-linked film exhibited improved properties like 12% higher density and enhanced stability compared to the non-cross-linked film.

Functionalization of optical waveguides with submicron all-nanoparticle coatings significantly enhanced the detection of acetone. Such coatings were enabled via precise control of the substrate withdrawal speed using the layer-by-layer deposition.
