title: Amphibious fluorescent carbon dots: one-step green synthesis and application for light-emitting polymer nanocomposites.
abstract: A facile and green approach for the synthesis of amphibious fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) from natural polysaccharide is reported. Light-emitting polymer nanocomposites with excellent optical performance can be easily prepared by incorporation of the amphibious CDs into the polymer matrix.
