Abstract
The mechanism of particle formation from submicrometer emulsion droplets by solvent evaporation is revisited. A combination of dynamic light scattering, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, zeta potential measurements, and fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy is used to analyze the colloids during the evaporation process. It is shown that a combination of different methods yields reliable and quantitative data for describing the fate of the droplets during the process. The results indicate that coalescence plays a minor role during the process; the relatively large size distribution of the obtained polymer colloids can be explained by the droplet distribution after their formation.

Abstract
A pair of covalently linked molecular dyads is described in which two disparate
boron dipyrromethene dyes are separated by a tolane-like spacer. Efficient
electronic energy transfer (EET) occurs across the dyad; the mechanism involves
important contributions from both Förster-type coulombic interactions and
Dexter-type electron exchange processes. The energy acceptor is equipped with
long paraffinic chains that favor aggregation at high concentration or at low
temperature. The aggregate displays red-shifted absorption and emission spectral
profiles, relative to the monomer, such that EET is less efficient because of a
weaker overlap integral. The donor unit is insensitive to applied pressure but
this is not so for the acceptor, which has extended π-conjugation associated
with appended styryl groups. Here, pressure reduces the effective π-conjugation
length, leading to a new absorption band at higher energy. With increasing
pressure, the overall EET probability falls but this effect is nonlinear and at
modest pressure there is only a small recovery of donor fluorescence. This
situation likely arises from compensatory phenomena such as restricted rotation
and decreased dipole screening by the solvent. However, the probability of EET
falls dramatically over the regime where the π-conjugation length is reduced
owing to the presumed conformational exchange. It appears that the
pressure-induced conformer is a poor energy acceptor.

Abstract
An instrument is described, which measures the efficiency of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) in parallel to the sample's turbidity. The instrument was used to study the film formation from polymer latex dispersions. In this context, the FRET efficiency reflects the diffusion of polymer chains across the interparticle boundaries, while the loss of turbidity reflects the progress of particle deformation. Particle deformation causes tensile in-plane stress, while polymer interdiffusion creates cohesion and thereby helps to prevent cracking. The relative timing between the two therefore is of fundamental importance for successful film formation. The on-line determination of FRET efficiency while the film dries is complicated by the fact that the fluorescence lifetime of the donor, τ(D), depends on the water content in the vicinity of the donor. In the established procedure for data analysis, drifts in τ(D) induce corresponding artifical drifts in the values of the FRET efficiency. A novel algorithm for the analysis of fluorescence decay profiles is proposed, which makes use of the method of moments. The FRET efficiency is quantified by the upward curvature of the fluorescence decay curve in log-linear display. In the application example, interdiffusion is delayed relative to particle deformation by about 10 min. For successful film formation, this delay should be as small as possible.
