Fluorescent quantum dot as model imaging probe for studying plant uptake, systemic mobility, localization in plant tissue and potential fate of ultra-small nanoparticles

, , , , , ,
Semiconductor fluorescent quantum dots (Qdots) are popularly used as bioimaging taggants in live cell imaging and spectroscopy. In recent years, Qdots taggants are emerging in agricultural applications. Studies are primarily focused on nanotoxicity of ultra-small [...]

Agglomerates and Aggregates: Number and Size of Primary Particles from in-situ Mass-Mobility Measurements

, , , , , ,
Gas-borne nanoparticles generated at high temperatures undergo coagulation forming agglomerates (physically-bound particles) and aggregates (chemically- or sinter-bound particles). The structure of such particles influences their transport, light scattering, effective surface area and density. Real-time characterization [...]
