Abstract: | It has been demonstrated by the photobleaching method that the photostability of pyrene molecules on the surface of pyrogenic nonporous SiO2 (aerosil) is independent of the surface concentration of the fluophor. Through a kinetic analysis of the recovery of fluorescence of the luminophore and solution of the two-dimensional diffusion equation, coefficients of interparticle diffusion were estimated for the molecules of pyrene and N,N-dimethylaniline.
