Chemical and Colloidal Stability of Polymer-Coated NaYF<sub>4</sub>:Yb,Er Nanoparticles in Aqueous Media and Viability of Cells: The Effect of a Protective Coating

Chemical and Colloidal Stability of Polymer-Coated NaYF<sub>4</sub>:Yb,Er Nanoparticles in Aqueous Media and Viability of Cells: The Effect of a Protective Coating

Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are of particular interest in nanomedicine for in vivo deep-tissue optical cancer bioimaging due to their efficient cellular uptake dependent on polymer coating. In this study, particles, <i>ca.</i> 25 nm in diameter, were prepared by a high-temperature...
