Advanced fluorescent nanotracers: a broad field of application

Raccurt O., Samuel J., Poncelet O., Szenknect S., Tardif F., Laboratory of Tracers Technologies, FR

Optical and magnetic nanoparticles are both attractive fields of investigation which are gaining in importance due to their potential markets e.g. polymer nano-composite, colloidal dispersion, environmental monitoring or biomedical diagnostics, etc. Among all the spectroscopic [...]

Dispersion and incorporation of optical nanotracers

Samuel J., Raccurt O., Poncelet O., Tillement O., Tardif F., Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique, FR

Silica fluorescent nanoparticles of 40nm diameter are synthesized by a reverse microemulsion process. Numerous industrial applications involve the homogeneous incorporation of nanoparticles into a polymer matrix. Nevertheless, because of their low size, nanoparticles tend to [...]
