Upconverting Nanomaterials ─ Perspectives, Synthesis, and Applications

Upconverting Nanomaterials: Perspectives, Synthesis, and Applications is a powerful instrument that explores the cutting edge research knowledge on the topic of upconverting nanosystems and simultaneously provides the necessary fundamental background for non-specialist readers. PhD students, researchers, and scientists interested in the field of luminescent nanomaterials will greatly benefit from having this book. Thirty-five scientists, of great renown in their field, have collaborated to produce eleven chapters that help to "make a voyage" through the most important aspects of UPNPs, including: syntheses, mechanism, functionalization, and applications.

Claudia Altavilla, PhD is a Research Fellow at the IMCB-CNR Institute for Composites and Biomedical Materials, Italy.
