Interaction of LiYF₄:Yb³⁺/Er³⁺/Ho³⁺/Tm³⁺@LiYF₄:Yb³⁺ upconversion nanoparticles, molecularly imprinted polymers, and templates.

ABSTRACT: In this work, LiYF₄:Yb_0.25 ³⁺/Er_0.01 ³⁺/Tm_0.01 ³⁺/Ho_0.01 ³⁺@LiYF₄:Yb_0.2 ³⁺ upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP) were used as luminescent materials for the preparation of molecular imprinting polymer nanocomposites. Three luminescent molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The relationship between the functional monomers, templates, and upconversion nanoparticles was investigated. Two hydrophilic monomers (acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AAm)) and one hydrophobic monomer (N-tert-butylacrylamide (TBAm)) were employed as functional monomers, while one amino acid (cysteine) and two proteins (albumin
