Upconversion luminescence properties of Y2O3: Yb3+/Er3+/Tm3+ nanocrystal doped PMMA nanocomposites
摘要: Y2O3 nanocrystals triply doped with Yb3+, Er3+, Tm3+ ions were synthesized via alginic acid-assisted gelation using thermal decomposition method and annealed at 800 °C for 24 h. Nanopowders were embedded into PMMA matrix via free-radical polymerization in an ultrasonic bath. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy measurements have shown that the crystal grain sizes decreased significantly with the narrow size distributions of the nanocrystals in PMMA matrix. A diode laser at 975 nm was used to measure the upconversion luminescence of the annealed nanopowders and those embedded in PMMA between the 400–850 nm wavelength region. The Er3+ concentration and the excitation power density dependencies of the relative intensities for red, green and blue upconversion luminescence in the nanopowder and PMMA nanocomposites are found to be different. The measured CIE-1931 color coordinates of the upconversion luminescence in PMMA nanocomposites show appreciable color stability under different excitation power densities, which is required for potential applications in the field of photonics.

Self‐Assembled Polyamidoamine Dendrimer on Poly (methyl meth‐ acrylate) for Plasmonic Fiber Optic Sensors
摘要: We report a novel one-step polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer based polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) surface functionalization strategy for the development of polymeric optical (POF) based plasmonic sensors utilizing gold nanoparticles (AuNP). Simple contact angle measurements over PMMA sheets reveal the ability of the dendrimers to strongly bind to PMMA surface without additional acid/alkali pretreatment, unlike the conventional hexamethylene diamine (HMDA) based surface modification. Subsequently, U-bent POF probes with high evanescent wave absorbance sensitivity were exploited for relative quantification of the surface amine groups using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) binding and efficient chemisorption of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) in order to identify the optimum conditions viz. dendrimer concentration, incubation time and dendrimer generation. While FITC binding showed a proportional increase in amine functional density with PAMAM concentration and time, interestingly the AuNP (40 nm) binding studies revealed the formation of loose PAMAM multilayers and their desorption. PAMAM (G4) concentration as low as 5 mM and incubation time of 24 h provide faster binding rate with densely packed AuNP and the RI sensitivity of ~ 15 (A546 nm/RIU). This simpler and inexpensive strategy could also be exploited for the development of functional PMMA substrates for various applications including nanotechnology, bio-imaging, drug delivery and analytical separations.
