• fluorescence spectroscopy was used to check the possible aggregation of photosensitizer in PCL, as the emission behavior of BODIPY is sensitive to self-aggregation effects. The surface free energy value (SFE) was determined using the Kaelble–Owens–Wendt method, which accounts for both the polar component

• -radiative processes may be more efficient due to the possible aggregation effects. To further examine the performance of the electrospun photoactive fibers, we have conducted photocatalytic decontamination experiments involving two additional pharmaceutical agents, namely, ranitidine and propranolol.

• illustrated in Figure 4, can accommodate MOF loadings of 30 wt % without notable aggregation effects [92], whereas others experience strong aggregation beyond, for example, 16 wt % MOF loading [91]. A well-established and simple method to reduce aggregation at higher MOF loadings is to prime the MOF slurry
