Towards Luminescent Porous Silicon Nanoparticles for in Vivo Imaging

Porous silicon derived nanoparticles with high brilliance and stability are surface modified by a simple hydrosilylation procedure. The resulting chemically passivated nano-powder is still photoluminescent and could be properly functionalized with bioprobes for combined biological in vivo and in vit...

More Information
Summary:Porous silicon derived nanoparticles with high brilliance and stability are surface modified by a simple hydrosilylation procedure. The resulting chemically passivated nano-powder is still photoluminescent and could be properly functionalized with bioprobes for combined biological in vivo and in vitro experiments, such as imaging applications together with drug delivery.
