The focus, for the purposes of this thesis, will be on carbon dots. The small size and low surface-to-volume ratio result in different physico-chemical behaviour of these particles in comparison to its significantly larger bulk-produced counterparts.encarbon dotsnanoparticlesnanotechnologynovel biomarkersUniversity of Western Cape
