Lanthanide functionalised gold nanoparticles as MRI contrast agents
The aim of this Ph. D. project was to synthesize and characterise nanoparticle-based MRI contrast agents. In the first instance, the DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) based ligand was designed, synthesized and characterised. This ligand was utilised for stabilisation of gold nanoparticles. T...
