AbstractIn this study, colloidal clusters decorated with fluorescent dyes were fabricated by evaporation-driven self-assembly using emulsion droplets as confining geometries. Silica microspheres were synthesized by Stober method followed by the modification with dye molecules through additional surface sol-gel reaction for the formation of thin silica shell. The surface of the resultant dye-doped silica microspheres was modified with hydrophobic silane coupling agent to disperse the particle suspension in organic solvent such as hexane. The fluorescent silica microspheres were self-assembled inside oil-in-water emulsions by evaporation-driven self-assembly for the formation of colloidal clusters, potentially applicable for photonic molecules. The clusters with fluorescent emission were observed using confocal microscope.

ABSTRACTThe layer-by-layer self-assembly of a number of different functional dye molecules has been accomplished via the alternate spontaneous adsorption of polyelectrolytes and ionic dyes from dilute solutions. Multilayer thin films containing such functional dyes as pH indicator dyes, infrared absorbing dyes, porphyrin dyes and various fluorescent dyes have been successfully fabricated and their electrical and opt, 2al properties examined. Multilayers containing a newly synthesized ionic ruthenium based polypryidyl dye have been utilized to fabricate light emitting thin film devices with high brightness (ca. 100 cd/m2) at voltages in the range of 5–10 volts. These new light emitting thin film devices exhibit excellent stability when compared to devices based on conjugated polymers such PPV. The fabrication and device evaluation of new heterostructure thin films based on this new light emitting dye as well as the properties of other multilayer thin films containing dye molecules are presented.

Despite exhibiting a wide spectrum of cosmeceutical properties, flavonoids and related compounds have some limitations related to their stability and solubility in distilledwater. In this project, we prepared silica microspheres using a novel method that uses polyol-in-oil-in-water (P/O/W) emulsion and sol-gel methods as techniques for stabilizing quercetin. A stable microsphere suspension was successfully preparedusing a mixed solvent system comprising a polyol-phase medium for performing the sol-gel processing of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as an inorganic precursor with outer water phase. The morphology of the microsphere was evaluated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), which showed a characteristic spherical particle shape with a smooth surface. Furthermore, SEM/EDSanalysis of a representative microsphere demonstrated that the inner structure of the silica microspheres was filled with quercetin. The mean diameter of the microsphere was in the range 20.6-35.0 ?m, and the encapsulation efficiency ranged from 17.8% to 27.5%. The free and encapsulated quercetin samples were incubated in separateaqueous solutions at 25 and 42?C for 28 days. The residualcontent of the quercetin encapsulated by silica microspheres was 82% at 42?C. In contrast, that of the free quercetin stored at 42?C decreased to ~24%.

Monosized silica microspheres (100−500 nm) were prepared by a sol-gel process by using tetraethyl orthosilicate precursor. A well-dispersed suspension was obtained by adjusting suspension to be weakly basic for a better yield of electrophoretic self-assembly (EPSA). A perfect EPSA behavior of silica microspheres into the layered pattern with the FCC structure was created. EPSA technique has been demonstrated as a simple and effective route to make numerous templates, which are associated with 3-D structures of silica microspheres in asymmetric geometries, for design of photonic crystals.

ABSTRACTOrganic electroluminescent (EL) diodes based on fluorescent dyes and conducting polymers have attracted the interest of researchers, mainly because of their emission in the visible region and for application to large area portable flat panel display devices, driven at low voltages. Therefore, for the development of higher efficiency polymer EL diodes, the optimal combination of the merits of organic fluorescent dye molecules with that of conjugated polymer is an important approach. We report electroluminescence studies of polymer light emitting diodes (p-LEDs) fabricated with poly[2-(3-thienyl)ethanol n-butoxy carbonylmethyl urethane] (PURET) and its composite with 4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H pyran (DCM) dye. These materials have been chosen in view of the fact that PURET exhibits a small overlap between emission and absorption spectra whereas DCM has a good efficiency of trapping both electrons as well as holes. Polyaniline has been utilized as hole injecting layer whereas tris-8-hydroxyquinoline-aluminum as electron injecting layer. Enhanced electroluminescence with bright yellow color has been observed in p-LEDs by the addition of dye.

AbstractThe solid host of a laser dye modifies its spectroscopic properties with respect to its liquid host. During the Sol-Gel process the dye molecules suffer from changing their environment. Two parameters affect this matter, the change in the concentration due to the evaporation of the solvent (drying) and the caging of dye molecules inside the pores or attachment to the silica network. Rhodamine 6G absorption and fluorescence spectra with different concentrations, during Sol-Gel time processing, have been studied. Both, absorption and fluorescence spectra of the dye in the solid host, for different concentrations, show a blue-shift relative to its liquid phase.
