Abstract
MRI-active Gd 2O 3 core/SiO 2 shell/poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) corona composite nanoparticles (Gd 2O 3@SiO 2@PMPC NPs) have a number of attractive features in cancer diagnosis and neutron capture therapy (NCT).1 Monodisperse and highly crystalline Gd 2O 3 NPs were prepared using a polyol protocol to control the average particle size and surface properties. The Gd 2O 3 NPs were then functionalized with SiO 2 and a biomimetic layer of PMPC, to achieve reduced toxicity and enhanced nucleus affinity, for use as an MRI-active Gd-NCT agent.
