We report on the fluorescence properties and the combined effects of energy diffusion and energy transfer in polyfluorene nanoparticles doped with a variety of fluorescent dyes. As the doping host, polyfluorene possesses extraordinary light harvesting ability, resulting in higher per-particle brightness as compared to dye-loaded silica nanoparticles of similar dimensions. Both the steady-state fluorescence spectra and time-resolved fluorescence measurements indicate highly efficient energy transfer from the host polymer to the acceptor dye molecules. A model that takes into account the combined effects of energy diffusion, Forster transfer, and particle size was developed. Comparisons of experimental data to the model results elucidate the importance of particle size and energy diffusion within the polymer in determining the optical properties of the doped conjugated polymer nanoparticles. Fluorescence quantum yields of similar to 40% and peak extinction coefficients of 1.5 x 10(9) M(-1)cm(-1) were determined for aqueous suspensions of similar to 30 nm diameter polymer nanoparticles doped with perylene or coumarin 6 (2 wt %). Photobleaching experiments indicate that energy transfer phenomena strongly influence the photostability of these dye-doped nanoparticles. Significant features of these nanoparticles include the high brightness, highly red-shifted emission spectrum, and excellent photostability, which are promising for biological labeling and sensing applications. in addition, the nanoparticles are a useful model system for studying energy transfer in dense, nanostructured, multichromophoric systems.
