Small and distinct spherical HCDs emitted bright blue and green fluorescent light depending upon the excitation wavelength and were dispersed easily in a wide variety of organic solvents. HCDs exhibited excellent water resistant behavior with a contact angle of similar to 122 degrees enforcing good hydrophobic character which will be quite useful in potential surface applications.</p>1 aMitra, Shouvik1 aChandra, Sourov1 aKundu, Tanay1 aBanerjee, Rahul1 aPramanik, Panchanan1 aGoswami, Arunava  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/rapid-microwave-synthesis-fluorescent-hydrophobic-carbon-dots-0
