Controlled Clustering of Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles using Block Copolymers : Design of New Contrast Agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Jean-Francois Berret, Nicolas Schonbeck, Florence Gazeau +4

When polyelectrolyte-neutral block copolymers are mixed in aqueous solutions with oppositely charged species, stable complexes are found to form spontaneously. The mechanism is bas…
