摘要
We report a dramatic, concentration-dependent decrease in the rate of photo-oxidation of semiconducting polymers due to the addition of small amounts of metal nanoshells to the polymer. In each case, the nanoshell resonances are tuned to the triplet exciton-ground state energy of the polymer. The nanoshell dopants slow the oxidation rate yet do not affect the photoluminescent properties of the polymers to which they have been added. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
