TWEEN coated NaYF4:Yb,Er/NaYF4 core/shell upconversion nanoparticles for bioimaging and drug delivery

Abstract

By using a commercially available surfactant (TWEEN), we report a simple and efficient method to convert hydrophobic NaYF4:Yb,Er/NaYF4 core/shell upconversion nanoparticles to hydrophilic ones for bioimaging and drug delivery.
