Dye-Based Nanoparticles Could be Used in New Imaging Techniques
Written by AZoNanoFeb 9 2021
In a new study, physicists and chemists from Martin Luther University (MLU) have demonstrated a new approach in which tiny nanoparticles can be equipped with dyes and how these particles could be used in novel imaging techniques.

The research team was also the first to fully establish the internal structure of the particles. The study results were published in the leading journal,
Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
Single-chain nanoparticles, or SCNPs, are fascinating materials for biomedical and chemical applications. These particles are produced from only a single chain of molecules that folds into a single particle, the circumference of which measures just 3 to 5 nm.
