description | Biodegradable and physically transient optics represent an emerging paradigm in healthcare devices by harnessing optically active system and obviating issues with chronic uses. Light emitting components that can efficiently interact with their environments have advantages of high sensitivity, visibility, and wireless operation. Here, we report a novel combination of silk biopolymer and optically active organic dyes resulting in versatile fluorescent silk nanofibers (FSNs). FSNs generated by the electrospinning method exhibit attractive functions of the doped organic dyes along with programming the system that physically disappear at prescribed time. Red-green-blue (RGB) fluorescent nanofibrous mats, eco-friendly and transient fluorescent chemosensors for acid vapor detection, and disposable membranes for nutrition delivery were successfully demonstrated using FSNs. These functions introduced using four water soluble dyes: rhodamine B, sodium fluorescein, stilbene 420, and riboflavin. The FSN with sodium fluorescein especially, showed a sensing capability for hazardous and volatile hydrochloric acid vapors. Delivering riboflavin (vitamin B(2), an important nutrient for skin care) in the FSN to a biological tissue could be observed by tracing the fluorescence of riboflavin. |
