Abstract
The unique properties of plasmonic nanoparticles and nanostructures have enabled a broad range of applications in a diverse set of fields, ranging from biological sensing, cancer therapy, to catalysis. They have been some of the most studied nanomaterials due in part to their chemical stability and biocompatibility as well as supporting theoretical efforts. The synthesis and fabrication of plasmonic nanoparticles and nanostructures have now reached high precision and sophistication. We review here their fundamental optical properties, discuss their tailoring for biological environments, and then detail examples on how they have been used to innovate in the biological and biomedical fields.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology reviews actual trends in modern biotechnology. Its aim is to cover all aspects of this interdisciplinary technology where knowledge, methods and expertise are required for chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, chemical engineering and computer science. Special volumes are dedicated to selected topics which focus on new biotechnological products and new processes for their synthesis and purification. They give the state-of-the-art of a topic in a comprehensive way thus being a valuable source for the next 3 - 5 years. It also discusses new discoveries and applications.
