摘要
Fluorescent patterning has attracted a great deal of attention owing to its potential applications in different areas in particular anti-counterfeiting technology.Fluorescent carbon dots(CDs)as a type of fluorescent dyes can be used in invisible patterning due to their remarkable optical properties.This study attempts to introduce green fluorescent CDs as a promising factor in textile coding.Accordingly,a new green source opted to prepare CDs using the hydrothermal approach.Moreover,toxicity assays were performed to prove the safety of these carbon-based nanoparticles for humanity.They were also conjugated with cotton fiber successfully.Therefore,these green prepared CDs are promising for security labeling in the textile industry.
