title: Thermoresponsive silver/polymer nanohybrids with switchable metal enhanced fluorescence.
abstract: In this communication we describe a new approach to the fabrication of fluorescent silver/polymer nanohybrids with thermo-switchable metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF). By manipulating a soft polymer spacer between the silver nanoparticles and the fluorophores a tunable MEF was achieved.
