Abstract

Photoluminescent and superhydrophobic [Eu(Phen)2]3+-laponite/polypropylene film exhibits enhanced fluorescent properties with long-term stability under conditions of high humidity. It is due to the synergistic effects of i) the water repellency of the superhydrophobic surface, ii) the reduced self-quenching of fluorescent Eu(Phen)2 complex by stabilized interlayer space of laponite as a molecular level, and iii) the water vapor barriers.
