Tuning the concentration of dye loaded polymer films for maximum photosensitization efficiency: Phloxine B in poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)

Fluorescence and singlet molecular oxygen (1O2) quantum yields for phloxine B loaded poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) thin films are determined at dye concentrations from 0.015 to 22 wt%. Fluorescence self-quenching and the fall off of the 1O2 quantum yield observed above 0.1 wt% are attributed to...

Rodríguez, H.B. San Román, E. Fluorescence and singlet molecular oxygen (1O2) quantum yields for phloxine B loaded poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) thin films are determined at dye concentrations from 0.015 to 22 wt%. Fluorescence self-quenching and the fall off of the 1O2 quantum yield observed above 0.1 wt% are attributed to very weakly interacting close-lying dye molecules acting as energy traps arising from molecular confinement. The maximum singlet oxygen generation efficiency (quantum yield × absorption factor) lies at concentrations around 2 wt%, where fluorescence self quenching amounts to more than 80%. Data are fitted quantitatively by using a quenching radius model involving energy migration and trapping with rQ = 1.2 nm. The present results constitute a proof of concept for the rational design of heterogeneous photosensitizers in general and, particularly, for applications in which the antimicrobial activity of singlet oxygen is central. © 2016 The Royal Society of Chemistry and Owner Societies.
