Characterization of the Long-Range Internal Dynamics of Pyrene-Labeled Macromolecules by Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence
(American Chemical Society, 2016-12)The long-range internal dynamics (LRID) of 74 pyrene-labeled macromolecules (PyLMs) were characterized in four solvents representing a broad range of dielectric constants equal to 2.4 (toluene), 7.6 (tetrahydrofuran, THF), ... -
Characterization of the Self-Assembly of Pyrene-Labelled Macromolecules in Water
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-19)The self-assembly of several pyrene-labelled amphiphilic macromolecules in water was characterized by fluorescence. Information on their self-assembly was obtained by monitoring the level of pyrene aggregation in solution. ... -
Characterization of Various Pyrene-Labelled Macromolecules in Solution by Fluorescence
(University of Waterloo, 2010-11-04)Time-resolved fluorescence was applied to linear and branched pyrene-labelled macromolecules to study their internal dynamics. The linear macromolecules consisted of two series of pyrene-labelled poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)s ... -
Detection of Nitroaromatic Compounds through Fluorescence Quenching of Pyrene Labeled Starch Nanoparticles
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-10)The aim of this research was to demonstrate the potential application of starch nanoparticles (SNPs) labeled with 1-pyrenebutyric acid (PBA) as the active component in optical sensors used for the detection of minute ... -
Fluorescently Labeled Latex Particles to Monitor Film Formation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-25)The influence of the length of an oligo(ethylene glycol) spacer (EGn, where n is the number of ethylene glycol units) in a 1-pyrenemethoxy-EGn methacrylate (PyEG-MA) monomer on the incorporation of the monomer into a ... -
Quantitative Characterization of Pyrene-Labeled Macromolecules in Solution by Global Analysis of Fluorescence Decays
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-27)A series of pyrene end-labeled monodisperse poly(ethylene oxide)s (PEO(X)-Py2 where X represents the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the PEOs and equals 2, 5, 10 and 16.5 K) and one pyrene mono-labeled PEO (PEO(2K)-Py1) ... -
Study of Arborescent Poly(L-Glutamic Acid) by Pyrene Excimer Formation
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-31)The biological function of a protein is determined by its amino acid sequence, structure, and internal dynamics. In turn the prediction of a protein structure from its folding pathway involves the characterization of the ... -
Using Pyrene to Probe Interparticle Polymer Diffusion in a Latex Film
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-16)Fluorescence has been used for many years as a powerful analytical tool to probe the formation of films from aqueous latex dispersions. Currently, the most widely used method is fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), ...
