Innovative nanosources of light around quantum boxes for bio imaging and Q-LED lighting

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Champagne-Ardenne - ERDF/ESF/YEI (2014FR16M0OP004), managing authority: Conseil régional Grand Est. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: France. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 106,000; EU co-financing EUR 53,000 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2019-01-01 to 2022-12-31. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS). Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): At present, quantum boxes (semiconductor nanooparticuls) Incorporated with QLED screens have already increased their shine and the panel of accessible colors. In the world of research, they are intensively studied in nano-optics and biophotonics since they can be seen as nanosources of light, allowing very local lighting of objects to be analysed. However, whether for display or bioanalysis applications, quantum boxes are currently only used in the form of more or less uniform layers or the location of transmitters is random. It would be very interesting to be able to precisely position quantum boxes on a surface. Thus, pixel creation or controlled cellular nano-imagery could be achieved. This project proposes to develop one or more nanofabrication processes to control the positioning of quantum boxes on a glass substrate. Two approaches are proposed: one concerning the structuring and then the molecular functionalisation of the surface of the glass so that the quantum boxes graft themselves into their intended areas and the other concerning the localised structuring of a resin containing the quantum boxes following the absorption of intense laser radiation. This process will then be used to create innovative devices for displaying and nanoscopying live cells.
