Abstract

In this paper, an overview of selected applications of semiconductor (TiO₂ and ZnO) and upconversion nanoparticles is presented. Depending on the size, the former are used as scattering and absorbing compounds in sunscreens and tissuemimicking phantoms; and in combination with gypsum – also as an antibacterial coating for indoor premises, while the latter, especially in combination with optical clearing – as a promising component for deep-biotissue imaging both in vitro and in vivo.
