Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided herein are core-shell silica nanoparticles with a dense silica shell. The nanoparticles have improved properties such as, for example, increased photo luminescence and stability. Also provided are methods for making the nanoparticles.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing core-shell silica nanoparticles comprising the steps of: a) preparing a silica core by combining a silica precursor and a silica precursor covalently bound to a light-absorbing material and/or light-emitting fluorescent or phosphorescent material, under conditions such that the silica precursors are hydrolyzed resulting in formation of a silica core, wherein the light-emitting material and/or light-absorbing material is covalently boun…
