Abstract:In this study, we investigated water-dispersible surface modification for size- and shape-controlled fullerene nanoparticles (C60P) based on a condensation reaction with di-amino alkane. This modification provided for water dispersibility of C60P and the capability
for secondary modification as well. The resultant C60P particles have several useful physical properties: water-dispersibility for ease of injection; fluorescence for detection and quantification; and a characteristic morphology to assist identific… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
