REACTIVE ESPECIES SURFACE MODIFICATION OF SILICON NANOPARTICLES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 所提出的研究涉及裸露和衍生的硅纳米颗粒与活性氧接触时对光学性质的影响，特别是ROS和RSS引起的细胞氧化应激。这些观察结果对这些材料的生物化学和环境应用的发展具有重要意义。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The proposed studies concern the effect on the optical properties of naked and derivatised silicon nanoparticles when in contact with reactive oxygen species, in particular ROS and RSS inducing cellular oxidative stress. The observed results are of importance for the development of biochemical and environmental applications of these materials.
