    Abstract:
    The photophysical properties of pyronin B (PyB) and pyronin Y (PyY) in water and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) aqueous solutions were studied by using absorption, steady-state fluorescence and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy techniques at room temperature. The spectroscopic and photophysical properties of pyronin dyes in the concentrated PVA aqueous solution were different than those found in water. The aggregation of the pyronin dyes in the concentrated PVA aqueous solution was prevented with ease while the dye aggregation was generally formed in water with high dye concentration. The decrease in the aggregation tendency of pyronin dyes in the concentrated PVA aqueous solution caused an increase in radiative transitions. The addition of PVA into the aqueous solution induced the enhancement in the fluorescence intensity of the dyes compared to those in water. As a result, the quantum yields of the dyes were improved by the addition of PVA at high loading. The time-resolved fluorescence study revealed that the fluorescence decay of dyes in all solutions were found to be single-exponential and the fluorescence lifetime of pyronin dyes in the concentrated PVA aqueous solution were also higher than those found in water.
