Competing Colloidal Interactions Govern Polymer Encapsulation of Hydrophobic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles
Control over synthesis conditions is necessary to ensure high loading in polymer-encapsulated iron oxide nanoparticles (P-IONPs) and enable biomedical applications. While flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) is a robust method to fabricate P-IONPs, very little is known regarding the response of hydrophobic IONPs to the chan...
