Development of ultra-stable nanomaterials for biological imaging applications

In order to use nanoparticles in biological applications, they need to be coated by a ligand shell (called biofunctionalisation) to provide stability in a physiological environment, including preventing non-specific binding, and to target the nanoparticle to areas of interest in the sample. One appr...
