Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | This work focused the preparation of nanoparticles containing molecules such as photosensitisers and molecular probes. These nanoparticles can be used as both probes of their local environment, and also to cause perturbations to this environment, along cause and effect to be investigated. |
| Exploitation Route | The routes to preparing the nanoparticles and the general techniques for the covalent coupling of molecular species to the interior or exterior, and of physical entrapment within these nanoparticles has been demonstrated, as has the effects of these upon the photophysical properties of the species. These may have applications beyond the original proposal |
