Abstract

We have reported the poly(ethylene glycol) - poly(amino acid) block copolymer micelles encapsulating β-FcOOH nanoparticles as tumor-targeted contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). PEG-PAsp molecules are multi-valently bound to the surface of the iron oxide nanoparticles via coordination between the carboxylic acid from the PAsp segment of block copolymer and Fe on the surface of iron hydroxide nanoparticles. Hence the resultant nanoparticles possess excellent solubility and stability in aqueous solution as well as in physiological saline.
