Sun block for nanoparticles: Unintentional photorelease triggered by UV light is a problem in photodynamic therapy. Encapsulating upconverting nanoparticles containing photoswitches in a UV‐blocking amphiphilic polymer shuts down the one‐photon process and only allows two‐photon‐driven photochemistry. Thus, UV light is blocked while NIR light can reach the nanoparticle core and trigger photorelease
纳米粒子的防晒霜:由紫外线引发的意外光释放是光动力疗法中的一个问题。将包含光开关的上转换纳米粒子封装在阻隔紫外线的两亲性聚合物中会关闭单光子过程,并且仅允许双光子驱动的光化学过程。因此,紫外线被阻挡,而近红外光可以到达纳米颗粒的核心并触发光释放。
