Low molecular weight glycerol derived coatings on magnetic nanoparticles: role of initiator, temperature, rate of monomer addition, enhanced biocompatibility and stability

Abstract

A highly efficient coating process of magnetic nanoparticles with hyperbranched polyglycidol was investigated and the resulting particles were tested towards their biocompatible capabilities.

Magnetic Functionalization of Poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) Hydrogels for Sensor Applications

“…[19] This effect can be countered by coatings that reduce interaction between particles and enable solubility. [20,21] Commercially available coated particles though are kept stable in solution only at low concentrations reducing the possible output signal. [22] Methods to introduce large quantities of MNPs into a hydrogel network while ensuring a homogeneous distribution were therefore investigated in this work.…”
