“…15–21 Various strategies, including emulsion polymerization, copolymerization, and core-shell embedding, have been used to build a hydrophobic core with a hydrophilic surface. 16,22,23 In those studies, the photochrome, for example spiropyran (SP) or diarylethene molecules, served as photoswitchable quencher: Once it was converted to its colored form by the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) light, it efficiently quenched the emission of its partnering fluorophore.…”
