Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) present a remarkable proficiency to convert near-infrared (NIR) light into higher-energy visible light. This phenomenon has prompted extensive investigation in numerous fields, including biomedical imaging, treatment, and optoelectronics. However, the probable toxicity of UCNPs poses substantial concerns that requ

Polymer nanocomposites constitute a groundbreaking class of materials synthesized by blending nanomaterials into a polymer matrix. This refined dispersion of nanoparticles, including ceramics, at the nanoscale substantially enhances the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of the conventional polymer. The resulting nanocomposites exhibit a s
