In this paper a ratiometric fluorescence nanogel was prepared and used in pH sensing. By introducing a pH probe and two fluorescent dyes (related by fluorescent resonant energy transfer)
the non-responsive and non-fluorescent hydrogel (polyurathane) was imparted the ability of pH sensing. With the increase of pH value from acidic to basic
the dominant fluorescence of nanogels varieds from red to green accordingly. The as-prepared nanogels exhibits high sensitivity
high hydrophilicity
quick responsiveness
and physiological pH detecting in the range of 6~8. Hence
the nanogels would be very potential as intracellular pH nanosensors.
