Nanostructures of diblock copolymer micelles for controlled fluorescence resonance energy transfer

Effect of distance between acceptor and donor on optical properties of composite semiconducting polymer films

“…Doping concentration and inserting inert spacer have been applied to control energy transfer in semiconducting polymer composite films [8,9]. Polystyrene-poly(4-vinylpyridine) diblock copolymer has been used to form micelle-isolated fluorescent species, and then pure white-light emission from a single-layer film has been realized [10,11]. White-light OLEDs have been prepared with multiple-dye-doped electrospun DNA nanofibers via controlling resonance energy transfer [12].…”

Energy and Charge Transfer in Nanoscale Hybrid Materials

“…Sohn et al introduced nano‐encapsulation in the cores of diblock copolymer micelles to control FRET between fluorophores . Diblock copolymer micelles are capable of isolating fluorescent dyes in the cores and can be easily coated to form a thin film with a controlled thickness.…”

Diblock copolymer micelles as surface-functionalized particles and direct decoration of nanoparticles on their surface

“…A conventional usage of copolymer micelles is to solubilize otherwise insoluble substances such as drugs [17], dyes [18], and quantum dots [19] by encapsulating them in the cores. However, we will apply micelles of diblock copolymers to effective template particles with the diameter smaller than 100 nm to produce particles decorated with nanoparticles.…”
