Descrizione:
Carbon dots (Cdots) with multicolour fluorescence feature are presently gaining much importance in the area of bioanalytics and bioimaging due to their biocompatible and strong fluorescent nature. Herein, we report a onestep method for synthesizing multicolour, surface passivated carbon dots using chitosan as a greener source through microwave pyrolysis approach. The present study also deals with the synthesis of chitosanpDNA (GFP) nanocomplexes for gene delivery applications. Development of such biofriendly imaging agents and nanocarriers has huge diagnostic and therapeutic potential.
