Abstract
Zirconia nanoparticles doped with Eu3+, Tb3+ and Gd3+ ions have been synthesized following the “benzyl alcohol route”. The nanoparticles were coated with N-hydroxydodecanamide and encapsulated in PLGA-b-PEG-COOH nanomicelles. The magnetic and fluorescent properties of these hybrid nanocarriers were investigated, proving them as to be potential dual-imaging contrast agents.File in questo prodotto:
