CORE-SHELL NANOPARTICLES FOR THEARAPY AND IMAGING PURPOSES

摘要

The invention relates to nanoparticles coated with an inorganic nanoscale material herein referred to as core-shell nanoparticle, in which the core material has a wider band gap than the shell material. The described core-shell nanoparticles are very suitable for the application in photodynamic therapy due to their enhanced energy transfer ability.
