AbstractWe present a systematic numerical analysis of the quantum yield of an electric dipole coupled to a plasmonic nanoparticle. We observe that the yield is highly dependent on the distance between the electric dipole and the nanoparticle, the size and permittivity of the nanoparticle, and the wavelength of the incident radiation. Our results indicate that enhancement of the quantum yield is only possible for electric dipoles coupled to a nanoparticle with a radius of 20 nm or larger. As the size of the nanoparticle is increased, emission enhancement occurs at wavelengths dependent on the coupling distance.

Incorporation studies of particles in different substrates with herbal assets growing. The objective of this work was the preparation and characterization of micro/nanoparticles containing cymbopogon nardus essential oil; and the incorporation of them on bacterial cellulose. For the development of the membranes was used the static culture medium and for the preparation of micro/nanoparticles was used the nanoprecipitation methodology. The incorporation of micro/nanoparticles was performed on samples of bacterial cellulose in wet and dry form. For the characterization of micro/nanoparticles were carried out analysis of SEM, zeta potential and particle size. For the verification of the incorporation of particulate matter in cellulose, analyses were conducted of SEM and FTIR. The results showed that it is possible the production and incorporation of micro/nanoparticles containing essential oil in bacterial cellulose membranes in wet form with ethanol.

<p>One sample of 1D bundle of cellulose microfibrils in the form of lignified flax fibre (0.10526 mm x 10 mm), and one 2D networks of cellulose microfibrils in the form of tunicate cellulose (0.07 mm x 5 mm x 10 mm), bacterial cellulose (0.135 mm x 5 mm x 10 mm) and microfibrillated cellulose (0.08 mm x 5 mm x 10 mm) were put on a glass slide parallel to the principal spectrometer axis. Raman spectra were measured all round in-plane under both half (in 5° steps) polarisation from 0° to 360° in extended mode between 100 cm<sup>-1</sup> and 1150 cm<sup>-1</sup> in 3 accumulations at 10s exposure and 100% laser power. The cursor was placed at the peak of the 1095 cm<sup>-1</sup> band, and intensity read.</p>
