Abstract: Monodisperse Kolloide wurden mit Polyelektrolyten mittels des Layer-by-Layer Verfahrens beschichtet. Die Templatkerne können im Inneren verbleiben oder aufgelöst werden. An die Polyelektrolyten werden verschiedene Fluoreszenzfarbstoffe in definierter Menge kovalent gebunden. Die Farbstoffmenge wird über Variation des Labelgehalts oder durch Co-Abscheidung ungelabelter Polymere kontrolliert. Unterschiedliche Farbstoffschichten werden durch Zwischenschichten voneinander getrennt, wodurch unerwünschte Wechselwirkungen unterdrückt werden. Umgekehrt kann zwischen geeigneten Farbstoffpaaren bei geringen Abständen (0 - 6 nm) ein FRET-Signal erzeugt werden, welches unabhängig von der Farbstoffkonzentration durch die Anzahl der Zwischenschichten kontrolliert werden kann. Die Kapselkodierung wird durch Variation der Anregungs- und Emissionswellenlänge ausgelesen. In den Kapseln können Makromoleküle immobilisiert werden, welche komplementäre Substanzen aus Lösungen herausfischen. Derart beschichtete Partikel oder hohle Kapseln können nach Einbringen einer sensitiven Zwischenschicht als Sensoren genutzt werden. Änderungen in der Grösse/Struktur der Zwischenschicht kann entweder durch FRET zwischen benachbarten, gelabelten Polyelektrolytschichten oder durch Selbstlöschung/Aggregatfluoreszenz von Farbstoffen in der sensitiven Schicht detektiert werden.
