DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfa.2019.124261
Abstract: Abstract Carbon may be an ideal surface-coating material on nanoparticles (NPs) for biomedical applications because carbon is biocompatible, nearly chemically inert, and photoluminescent in the visible region. In this research, the carbon-coated ultrasmall gadolinium oxide… read more here.
