Functional Fluorescent Materials Applications in Sensing, Bioimaging, and Optoelectronics Advances in Bionanotechnology Series

Functional Fluorescent Materials: Applications in Sensing, Bioimaging, and Optoelectronics explains functional molecular probes (organic/inorganic materials, polymers, nanomaterials), with a focus on those that represent spectroscopic properties with detection of different analytes and specific roles in molecular recognition and their applications. It broadly covers molecular recognition to applications of fluorescence reporters, starting from optoelectronic properties of materials, detection of heavy metals, through biological macromolecules, and further to a living cell, tissue imaging, and theranostics.

Features:
? Covers different aspects of fluorescence spectroscopy ranging from chemical, physical, and biological aspects along with optoelectronic properties, mechanisms, and applications.
? Describes all types of chemical and functionalized fluorescent nanomaterials.
? Provides additional information on different kinds of fluorescence reporters.
? Explains the concept of fluorescence spectroscopy and its role in human health care.
? Discusses changes in static and dynamic properties of fluorescent probes and molecular recognitions.

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in materials, chemical engineering, and engineering physics.

Vivek Mishra is currently working as an Assistant Professor (grade III) in the Amity Institute of Click Chemistry Research and Studies (AICCRS) under the umbrella of Amity University Noida Campus. Before this, he joined the Department of Chemistry as a DST SERB‑National Post‑Doctoral Fellow in July 2017 from the Science and Engineering Research Board, New Delhi, Government of India. Dr. Mishra has completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry at the Institute of Science‑Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in 2012. After that, he was offered three postdoctoral fellowships: one from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore, MP, India and the other two are from South Korea. He was a postdoctoral research associate under the Brain Korea‑21 programme at the University of Ulsan, Ulsan, South Korea and a Specialist (PDF) at the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, Cheonan‑si, South Korea for 2 years. Dr. Mishra research is mainly focused on synthesis and characterization of polymers with selected functionality, composition, and molecular architecture. His research focuses on drug delivery, hydrogel and nanogel synthesis, stimuli‑responsive polymers, magnetic nanoparticles for water remediation, catalysis, dye removal and degradation, and biowaste/plastic waste utilization for the fruitful by‑products. He has published 52 papers in international journals of high repute with an H index of 20 and an i‑10 index of 25, and also presented a dozens of papers in national and international symposia/conferences.

Syed Sibtay Razi has been an Assistant Professor since 2017 in the Department of Chemistry, Gaya College Gaya, Magadh University Bodhgaya, Bihar, India. His main research interests are the design and synthesis of organic triplet sensitizers, focused on the intersystem crossing (ISC) and triplet excited state, photophysics and photochemistry of organic compounds, and application as triplet–triplet annihilation. The research in the group is based on synthetic chemistry, st
