DOI: 10.1021/acsami.9b12398
Abstract: PEGylation, which has traditionally been the method of choice to enhance the colloidal stability of nanostructures designed for biological applications, and to prevent non-specific protein adsorption, is now being challenged by short zwitterionic ligands. Inspired… read more here.
