Additional information
Funded as part of the All-Ireland Collaborative R&D Centre for Functional Biomaterials and in collaboration with NUI Galway, this paper reports the first investigation of partial PEG capping on nanoparticle stability in vivo, critical for practical nanoparticle based drug delivery systems. Significant levels of stability enhancement were achieved at lower loading levels thus creating the potential for co-functionalization with drugs or targeting groups for applications in assays and drug carrier systems.
