Labeling of Polymer Nanostructures for Medical Imaging: Importance of crosslinking extent, spacer length, and charge density. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Radiolabeling studies were employed to investigate the influence of structure on the efficiency of surface functionalization for poly(acrylic acid)-coated shell crosslinked nanoparticles (SCKs) with two types of amine-terminated DOTA chelators. An intricate interplay between the chemical and physical properties of both the DOTA derivative and the SCK nanostructures was revealed, demonstrating the importance of structural control.
