Abstract:Photoluminescent hydrogels show great potential in the fields of information storage and security, environmental monitoring and protection, in vivo noninvasive monitoring, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Current fluorescent hydrogels are prepared by coupling or doping fluorescent units, such as semiconductor quantum dots, metal−ligand complexes, lanthanide ions, and organic dyes, into polymer hydrogel matrices. However, conventional fluorescent hydrogels have intrinsic defects, including poor photostabi… Show more
