Electrospun fluorescein/polymer composite nanofibers and their photoluminescent properties

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/9/097805

Abstract Fluorescein/polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) composite nanofibers with different fluorescein loadings (with weight concentration of 0-5.0%) are fabricated via electrospinning. Morphologies, structures and photoluminescent (PL) properties of these straight, helical or wavelike fibers are characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), fluorescence microscope and spectrophotometer. It is found that the maximum emission of the as-spun fluorescein/PVP fibers occurs at 510 nm. The PL intensity of the composite fiber increases with the increase of fluorescein concentration, then fluorescence quenching appears when the concentration reaches 1.67%. The mechanism of fluorescence quenching of fluorescein is discussed. In addition, the composite fibers exhibit much stronger PL intensity than fluorescein/PVP bulk film owing to larger specific surface area, which makes them promising materials for biomedical applications such as probes and sensors.
