  Nanomedicine 2017: Inorganic coating of luminescent porous silicon for nanomedicine applications
  Author(s): Nicola Daldosso
  
  Porous silicon (pSi) is a photo-luminescent material produced by electrochemical etching of crystalline silicon wafer. It is suitable for nanomedicine applications, because it is inert, biodegradable, bio-compatible and have no immune response. Furthermore, their optical properties, due to quantum confinement effect, are very interesting in perspective of bio-imaging applications. One of the main issues for the exploitation of the pSi micro-particles in nano-medicine is the fast quenching of the optical properties in aqueous environment. We previously demonstrated long-term optical stability by covalent attac.. View More»
