Why is Photostability Important in Nanotechnology?
The small size of nanoparticles often results in unique optical and electronic properties. However, these properties can be compromised if the nanomaterials degrade upon exposure to light. Maintaining photostability ensures consistent performance, reliability, and safety of nanotechnology-based applications. For instance, in biomedical imaging, photostable nanoparticles allow for prolonged imaging without losing signal intensity.
