Table 1 Reminder of successful and unsuccessful encapsulations of the different dyes (a-h) and the uses of the different methods of encapsulation (i.e. series 1-4) investigated during the study

From: A comparative study of non-covalent encapsulation methods for organic dyes into silica nanoparticles

All successfully encapsulated samples have been further characterised by fluorescent measurements.
^aCharacterised by TEM analysis.
^bCharacterised by DLS measurements.
