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...
