Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) present a distinctive capacity to convert near-infrared (NIR) light into higher-energy visible light. This phenomenon has inspired extensive research in various fields, including biomedical imaging, treatment, and optoelectronics. However, the possible toxicity of UCNPs presents significant concerns that necessita

Polymer nanocomposites emerge a groundbreaking class of materials synthesized by embedding nanomaterials into a polymer matrix. This meticulous dispersion of nanoparticles, including carbon nanotubes, at the nanoscale substantially enhances the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of the parent polymer. The resulting nanocomposites display a
