In situ functionalization of gadolinium oxide nanoparticles with polyethylene glycol (PEG) by pulsed laser ablation in a liquid medium (PLAL)

Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) nanoparticles with paramagnetic properties and biocompatible surfaces are promising materials for bioimaging applications. We synthesized in situ pegylated Gd2O3 (Gd2O3@PEG) nanoparticles by liquid phase pulsed laser ablation (PLAL) of a gadolinium target in a polyethylene g...
