Synthesis and Characterization of Fluorescent PVA/PVAc-Rodhamine Microspheres

Fluorescent polymeric microspheres are used in a wide range of biomedical and technological applications, including blood flow determination, screening, flow visualization, flow tracing, medical imaging, fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry among others. Rhodamine 6G (R6G) is a lipophilic cationic dye, which is among the most stable organic fluorophores, and with a high quantum yield in fluorescence (absorption and emission) in the visible range (500-600 nm). It is mainly applied in laser technology, and also in fluorescent bioimage. In this work we present an efficient synthesis route t...
