Abstract:The development of multifunctional nanosystems for photo‐induced hyperthermia and photodynamic effect is a challenging topic in the research of advanced materials for application in biomedical field. Here, we report red‐luminescent carbon‐nanodots (CDs‐PNM/PTC) derived from entrapment of pentacene (PTC) in nanodots prepared from poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) polymer (CDs‐PNM) by an easy and reagent‐free method. The CD‐PNM/PTC nanosystem was characterized by different techniques (UV‐Vis spectrophotometry, fluores… Show more
