title: FRET-based characterisation of surfactant bilayer protected core-shell carbon nanoparticles: advancement toward carbon nanotechnology.
abstract: Surfactant bilayer protected core-shell carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) have been synthesised. Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the core-shell CNPs and two strategically chosen organic dyes has been exploited to characterise the protective surfactant bilayer.
