Tuning the electronic properties of conjugated polyelectrolytes via complexation with lipid vesicles or silica nanobeads

This thesis describes luminescent nanostructures involving the anionic poly(phenylene vinylene) MPS-PPV in complex with lipid vesicles or silica beads. The vesicular encapsulation of light-emitting polymer produced a "liposome beacon," whose fluorescence response to the electron-transfer q...
