Abstract

Highly fluorescent and dispersible silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) were prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis from (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and glucose. Glucose played important roles both as reducing agents and surface ligands of SiNPs. Prepared SiNPs were highly non-toxic for cellular media and the efficient bioimaging of cellular imaging was enabled after incubation of MDA-MB-231 and MDCK cells in the presence of SiNPs.
