Abstract
Organic dye namely Coumarin 7 has been entrapped in silica particles using a single silica precursor viz. tetraethylorthosilicate. Both bare Coumarin 7 dye and dye incorporated core–shell particles were studied. Investigations of these core–shell composites were carried out using different characterization techniques such as energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. It has been shown that the photostability of dye molecules is improved along with an increase in photoluminescence.
