This book is designed for researchers and students interested in
carbon dots applications in health care, especially as a
theranostic agent. Carbon Dots as Theranostic Agents focuses on the
fundamental understanding along with the applications of this
unique fluorescent nano-biomachine. The book begins with the
explanation that carbon dots fall between the usual daily macro or
bulk physics and the quantum mechanics and covers their unique
properties like quantum mechanics and quantum confinement. It then
encompasses the domain of various physical, chemical and biological
methods that efficiently synthesizes the carbon dots and their
desired properties. The basic characterization techniques used for
carbon dots is also covered in this book. Conjugation of carbon
dots with different moieties is another aspect that enhances its
applications, hence this is highlighted too. The book also details
how to maneuver the carbon dots for their use in targeted drug
delivery with emphasis on cancer and neurodegenerative disease as
well as cellular imaging and diagnostics. One of the unique
features of this book is that it reports on the use of carbon dots
to act as a nano-fertilizer, as a drug/antibiotic delivery vehicle
to diseased plants through foliar application.
