This Faraday Discussion focuses on one very fundamental issue of nanoparticle (NP) research: functionalisation specifically related to biomedical applications. Without the right functionalisation, NPs will be rendered useless, therefore how can NPs be synthesised with the desired functionality? Nanotechnology, especially nanoparticle research, has played a very important role in many scientific discoveries, laying the foundation for its application in many aspects of our lives, such as healthcare, efficient energy and cleaner environments. The field is moving very quickly, with an ever-increasing number of researchers. This volume will promote deep discussion on a topic that has previously been neglected. The whole field would stand still without the availability of appropriate functionalisations for specific applications. The latest research and discussion presented here on this very important issue will help to harness the full potential of nanoparticle research. Topics covered in this volume include: . Noble metal NPs: novel syntheses of noble metal NPs and better understanding of their surface chemistry and the interactions between these NPs and ligands . Quantum dots: novel syntheses and biofunctionalisation to enhance the quantum yield of quantum dots . Magnetic NPs: novel syntheses and functionalisation for specific targets in vivo . Carbon nanotubes, graphite/graphene and other NPs: exploring biofunctionalisation and biomedical applications using these types of materials
