The Design of Stable, Well-Defined Polymer-Magnetite Nanoparticle Systems for Biomedical Applications

The composition and stability of polymer-magnetite complexes is essential for their use as a treatment for retinal detachment, for drug targeting and delivery, and for use as a MRI contrast agent. This work outlines a general methodology to design well-defined, stable polymer-magnetite complexes. Co...
