Proximity-induced FRET and charge-transfer between quantum dots and curcumin enable reversible thermochromic hybrid polymeric films

Chem. Commun., 2024, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D4CC03184A, Communication Jefin Parukoor Thomas, Amal Raj, Virat Gandu, Amarjith V. Dev, Vijayakumar Chakkooth, Bhoje Gowd This study introduces a novel strategy for developing reversible thermochromic fluorescent films by precisely controlling the nanoscale proximity of boron nitride quantum dots and curcumin molecules within a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) matrix....
