NANOPARTICLE PRECURSOR STRUCTURES, NANOPARTICLE STRUCTURES, AND COMPOSITE MATERIALS

摘要

Nanoparticle precursor structures, nanoparticle structures, and composite materials that include the nanoparticle structures in a polymer to form a composite material. The nanoparticle structures have chemical linkage moieties capable of forming non-covalent bonds with portions of a polymer for the composite material. Such composite materials are useful as biomaterials in medical devices.
