Abstract

We synthesized anionic hydrogels containing fluorophores and investigated the adsorption of a cationic quencher having an amino group into hydrogels by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). FRET from the fluorophore to the quencher in hydrogels was examined by fluorescence intensity and fluorescence decay using a fluorescence spectrophotometer and femtosecond laser spectroscopy. The fluorescence intensity of the fluorophore‐containing hydrogels decreased rapidly with increasing amounts of adsorbed cationic quencher. The fluorescence emission of the fluorophore in the quencher‐adsorbed hydrogels containing fluorophores decayed more rapidly than that of the original hydrogels. The aforementioned result indicates that the fluorescence of the fluorophore‐containing hydrogels is quenched due to FRET from the fluorophore to the quencher as the cationic quenchers can approach the fluorophores in hydrogels by electrostatic interactions. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
