Abstract

Artificially synthesized DNA is involved in the construction of a library of oil tracers due to their unlimited number and no-biological toxicity. The strategy of the construction is proposed by oleophilic Silica-encapsulated DNA nanoparticles, which offers fresh thinking in developing novel tracers, sensors, and molecular machines in engineering & applied sciences based on artificially synthesized DNA blocks.

Keywords: construction strategy; oil tracer library; oleophobic; silica-encapsulated DNA tracers.
