Abstract

We have investigated the interactions between SWCNTs with merocyanine dye molecules to design the optical properties and visualisation for biomedical device imaging applications. When SWCNTs interacted with merocyanine dyes used to fabricate the light-absorbing nano-array structure, the fluorescence emission of the SWCNTs with merocyanine dye structure was quenched by dip-coating technique. The SWCNT in the presence of merocyanine dye molecules shows that there is an alteration in the absorption intensity and shows an increase of several folds of the fluorescence intensity. The assembly of CNT/cyanine dye nanostructure was studied by Raman spectroscopy and demonstrated that a frequency shift in Raman spectra indicating non-covalent binding. The surface morphology of MWCNT/merocyanine dye nanostructures was investigated by using TEM, AFM and SEM. The results of fluorescence study show that three component nanohybrids were visualised through confocal microscopy. When UV light is used to stimulate the coated MWCNT/cyanine composite, it becomes fluorescent and can act as a scaffold for merocyanine dyes to self-assemble with higher quantum yields. The current study proved that a fluorophore lights up when it attaches to SWCNTs for the first time, presenting a novel strategy for fluorescent tagging of SWCNTs.
