Entrapment of quantum dots in sol-gel matrices to develop sensing material based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
A simple and general procedure is described for the development of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) systems by the co-immobilization in a sol-gel matrix of photoluminescent quantum dots with a given dye "acceptor".
