Bright-CD

Nanocarbons with high two-photon brightness tailored
for imaging in biological media.  

  1. AIM - Production of carbon dots with high two-photon brightness tailored for imaging in biological media. Find the missing link between the structure and the nonlinear emission of the nanocarbons enabling the controlled synthesis and engineering of such material. Translate this knowledge into a high added-value product for the global biomedical industry.
  2. STRATEGY -Systematic approach to the study of the two-photon absorption properties, combining controlled synthetic methods, sophisticated structural characterization and advanced spectroscopic techniques.
  3. NOVELTY - use reproducible organic synthesis methods to produce structurally well-defined nancarbons that can give access to the critical structural factors  controlling nonlinear emission
