,Energy Transfer Mediated Fluorescence from Blended Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles,Changfeng Wu,Hongshang Peng,Yunfei Jiang,and Jason McNeill*,2,Abstract,Nanoparticles consisting of a derivative of the blue-emitting conjugated polymer polyfluorene doped with green-,yellow-,and red-emitting conjugated polymers were prepared by a reprecipitation method.The nanoparticles can be described as a system of densely packed chromophores that exhibit efficient energy transfer from the host to the dopant polymers.,3,Abstract,Fluorescence quenching analysis of the host polymer as a function of the dopant concentration indicates that one energy acceptor molecule can effectively quench 90%of the fluorescence of a nanoparticle consisting of 100-200 host conjugated polymer molecules.A nanoparticle energy transfer model was developed that successfully describes the quenching behavior of a small number of highly efficient energy acceptors per nanoparticle.,4,Abstract,The fluorescence brightness of the blended polymer nanoparticles was determined to be much higher than that of inorganic quantum dots and dye-loaded silica particles of similar dimensions.The combination of high fluorescence brightness and tunable fluorescence of these blended nanoparticles is promising for ultrasensitive fluorescence-based assays.,5,Contents,6,1.Introduction,Highly fluorescent nanoparticles have attracted much attention due to a variety of fluorescence-based applications such as biosensing,imaging,and high-through put assays.Conjugated polymers are known to possess high absorption coefficients and high fluorescence efficiency,which have led to a wide range of applications in optoelectronic thin film devices.However,the use of conjugated polymer nanoparticles in fluorescence labeling is still a largely unexplored area.,7,1.Introduction,Energy transfer in nanoscale systems has recently been demonstrated as the basis of molecular beacons for efficient biomolecule detection.Here we report on energy transfer mediated fluorescence from conjugated polymer nanoparticles consisting of polyfluorene(PF)doped with three different conjugated polymer acceptors.,8,2.Experimental Section,2.1 Materials,2.2 Nanoparticle Preparation,2.3 Characterization Methods,9,2.1.Materials,HostPF：poly(9,9-dihexylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)(MW 55 000,polydispersity

features of the nanoparticles include their high fluorescence brightness and suitability for fluorescence multiplexing applications.In some cases,the dependence of nanoparticle fluorescence on composition was found to deviate substantially from the Stern-Volmer relation.,23,4.Conclusions,Analyses by both Stern-Volmer relation and the nanoparticle energy transfer model reveal highly efficient energy transfer between the host and the guest molecules.Both models indicate that approximately 100 or more host molecules are quenched by a single dopant molecule.,24,THANK YOU!,
