Controllable Assembly of Hydrophobic Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticle with mPEG-PLA Copolymer and Its Effect on MR Transverse Relaxation Rate
Assembly of individual superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) into cluster is an effective way to prepare MRI contrast agent with high relaxivity. In this study, we fabricated SPION clusters with different sizes and configurations by assembly of amphiphilic mPEG-PLA copolymer with hydrop...
