CARBON NANOPARTICLES RESEARCH PROGRESS IN KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

Abstract: The research area of carbon dots (C-dots) is wildly known for variety of applications, including bioimaging, biomedical science, and sensors. Moreover, recent findings suggest the usage of carbon nanoparticles as an effective alternative for drug therapies. Synthesis of carbon dots is relatively cheap, fast, and green process. The results of C-dots treated bacteria and cancer cells, fluorescent imaging for detection of temperature and water pollutants all provides an interesting and promising approach of C-dots applications in different fields. Therefore, C-dots research has an important value for the scientific community and society. The following mini review provides a summary of relevant articles published by Kazakhstani scientists.
