Polyacrylic acid complexes to mineralize ultrasmall europium-doped calcium phosphate nanodots for fluorescent bioimaging

Nano calcium phosphate (nCaP), a bone mineral in mammals, shows a promising prospect in biomedicine. Herein, we report a biomimetic mineralization strategy, based on stoichiometric polyacrylic acid (PAA) complexation-precipitation process, to facilitate the development of nCaP as bioimaging agents....
