NEW TYPES OF LEDS FOR DISPLAY APPLICATION

NEW TYPES OF LEDS FOR DISPLAY APPLICATION

+SMALL +STRUCTURED +EFFICIENT In recent years, phosphor-free III-nitride nanowire light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been intensively studied as a promising candidate for future solid-state lighting and full-color display applications. Compared with the conventional...
ENCAPSULATION OF QUANTUM DOTS FOR BIOMEDICAL IMAGING

ENCAPSULATION OF QUANTUM DOTS FOR BIOMEDICAL IMAGING

+PRECISE +EFFECTIVE Quantum dots are semiconducting particles used in ex-vivo fluorescence biomedical imaging. To consider their in-vivo use, it is necessary to make them more specific (i.e. control their binding to biological ligands) and improve their colloidal...
THERMOREVERSIBLE PARTICLES FOR THE CONTROLLED RELEASE OF MEDICATION

THERMOREVERSIBLE PARTICLES FOR THE CONTROLLED RELEASE OF MEDICATION

+EFFECTIVE +PRECISE A thermoreversible compound is sensitive to temperature. A potential application of this property is the localized released of active ingredients to inflammation sites in the body. Coming up with an application of this nature presents a sizeable...
