The synthesis of surface‐modified silica nanoparticles, chemically grafted with acrylate and
poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) groups, and the ability of the resulting crosslinked coatings to …

Densely pegylated particles that can serve as a model system for artificial cells were
prepared by covalently grafting amino polyethylene glycol (PEG, molecular weight 3400 or …

The known grafting procedures of colloidal silica particles with poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)
lead to grafting layers that detach from the silica surface and dissolve in water within a few …

The main issue associated with silica nanoparticles (NPs) in biological applications is the
adhesion of proteins and blood platelets to the NPs surface. In this work, poly (ethylene …

The surface of silica nanoparticles was modified with poly (ethylene glycol) methacrylate
(PEGMA) or poly (propylene glycol) methacrylate (PPGMA) in order to improve the …

A critical requirement toward the clinical use of nanocarriers in drug delivery applications is
the development of optimal biointerfacial engineering procedures designed to resist …

For the investigation of the interaction of nanoparticles with biomolecules, cells, organs, and
animal models there is a need for well-characterized nanoparticle suspensions. In this paper …

An attempt was made to control the surface charge of colloidal silica nanoparticles with 20
