Characterization of Hydrophobically Modified Starch Nanoparticles by Pyrene Fluorescence
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-25)Starch nanoparticles (SNPs) were hydrophobically modified with propionic (C3) and hexanoic (C6) anhydride via esterification. Different degrees of substitution (DS) of the hydroxyl groups of the SNPs were achieved by varying ... -
Detection of Nitroaromatic Compounds through Fluorescence Quenching of Pyrene Labeled Starch Nanoparticles
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-10)The aim of this research was to demonstrate the potential application of starch nanoparticles (SNPs) labeled with 1-pyrenebutyric acid (PBA) as the active component in optical sensors used for the detection of minute ... -
DNA stabilized fluorescent metal nanoclusters for biosensor development
(Elsevier, 2014-03-22)Fluorescent silver, gold and copper nanoclusters (NCs) have emerged for biosensor development. Compared to semiconductor quantum dots, there is less concern about the toxicity of metal NCs, which can be more easily conjugated ...
