ABSTRACTIn this paper, a novel quantum dot (QD) based nanomaterial system is presented for efficient FRET analysis. The quantum dots have been embedded in hydrogel microspheres based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) a thermoresponsive polymer that undergoes a volume phase transition across the low critical solution (LCST). The optical properties of the quantum dots entrapped within the gel microspheres has been modified due to change in refractive index, volume density of the surrounding hydrogel medium. The QDs encapsulated in the PNIPAM microspheres showed 100–200 % enhancement in the PL efficiency as the microgels shrank at the temperature above the LCST temperature of the gel.

ABSTRACTThe thickness of non-freezing interfacial 1-decanol molecules has been estimated to be 1.44 ± 0.07 nm. This is smaller than what is estimated for cyclohexane, 2.25 ± 0.14nm. Furthermore, these interfacial molecules have higher density than corresponding bulk cyclohexane and 1-decanol, respectively. However, the change in density of the interfacial molecules is more significant in the case of cyclohexane than 1-decanol. This suggests that the cyclohexane molecules near the walls of the pore are more tightly packed than 1-decanol molecules. Presumably, this is due to the difference in size and shape of the molecules. Cyclohexane, a more spherical molecule, can easily be packed in smaller pores than the longer 1-decanol.
