Research advances in preparation and application of chitosan nanofluorescent probes

Abstract

Nanofluorescent material is developing rapidly as a new type of material. Nanofluorescent probes have broad application prospects in biological analysis, drug metabolism, and semiconductor optical materials. Chitosan is non-toxic and rich in nature which has good biocompatibility, and it can be combined with fluorescent probes. Therefore, the preparation and application of Nanofluorescent probes using chitosan as a carrier is summarized in this article. Fluorescent probes can be combined with other different materials through different reaction mechanisms, and the prepared composite materials can be widely used in biomaterials, sewage treatment, medicine and other fields.
