Distinct effects of the SiO2shell on fluorescence properties of LaF3:Nd3+/SiO2core/shell nanoparticles were demonstrated by annealling the nanoparticles at different temperatures. Emission spectra, excitation spectra, and decay curves of the nanoparticles were measured. A significant improvement of fluorescence intensity was observed for LaF3:Nd3+/SiO2core/shell nanoparticles annealed at 900∘C. The phenomenon is ascribed to the change of environment of LaF3:Nd3+core which is imposed by SiO2shell. And the change is confirmed by the excitation spectra. It provides a useful way to improve fluorescent intensity of the SiO2-coated LaF3:Nd3+nanoparticles. The lifetime for nanoparticles annealed at 900∘Cshows a slight decrease contrast with nanoparticles annealed at 400 and 600∘C. This is caused by the higher phonon energy of SiO2than that of LaF3.

Nanostructured fluorescent pyrromethene (PM) doped-silica core-shell particles were successfully prepared by Stöber process. The average size of the particles was in the range of 10–20 nm measured by TEM micrograph. The atomic structure and morphology of PM 597/SiO2core/shell nanoparticles were studied by AFM and SEM, respectively. Absorption and emission spectra of the PM 597/SiO2core/shell nanoparticles under the UV irradiation were studied and not significantly influenced at the position of peaks. Finally, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and photobleaching of dye were examined and found no significant influence on the peaks of PM dye due to the formation of smaller sizes of PM 597/SiO2core/shell nanoparticles. The observed PM 597/SiO2core/shell nanoparticles were different in shapes with smaller size distribution and highly luminescent. Majority of nanoparticles were roughly spherical with many of them aggregated. The less photobleaching of dye core may be due to the protection of pumped energy by SiO2shell and restricts the leakage of dye.

Fluorescent DNA probes based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) were presented in this paper when AuNPs were as the energy acceptors and CdTe quantum dots and CdTe/SiO2 core/shell nanoparticles were as the energy acceptors, respectively. The DNA probes were prepared when energy donors and acceptors were conjugated with two single-stranded complementary oligonucleotides and hybridized with each other and the fluorescent intensity of probes could be decreased. The quenching efficiency of DNA probe was about 67 % when CdTe QDs were as the energy donors, while that of DNA probe was about 75 % when CdTe/SiO2 fluorescent core/shell nanoparticles were as the energy acceptors, which indicated that CdTe/SiO2 core/shell nanoparticles were suitable donors compared with CdTe QDs in DNA probe field.

Polypyrrole chitosan core shell nanoparticles were synthesized by in situ oxidation polymerization of pyrrole using FeCl3 in chitosan aqueous solution. 5-Phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (I) was prepared and loaded into polypyrrole chitosan core shell nanoparticles at two different temperatures (25°C and 80°C). These core shell nanoparticle systems are insoluble in acidic medium and have good adsorption capacity. The release of loaded triazole was studied in different pH media (2, 7.4). The mechanism of triazole release was determined by applying zero-order release, first-order release, Higuchi model, Hixson–Crowell, and Korsmeyer–Peppas kinetics equations. The antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis were evaluated. The potential cytotoxicity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells and liver (HEPG2) cell line in vitro was tested.
