“…1,[12][13][14][15]22 As a result and considering the concerted action of all processes, there is an optimal distance for the fluorophore from the particle's surface to maximize the fluorescence. 12,16,19,21,26,30 Therefore, it is essential to control the distance between the fluorophores and the particles surface. 12,14,16,19,21,26,31 In order to achieve such distance control, the use of different types of spacers has been reported such as silica, 22,24,[32][33][34][35] polymers, 7,19,21,[36][37][38][39] and biomolecules.…”
