Active particles for bio-analytical applications and methods for their preparation

摘要

Nanoparticles, which are luminescent and/or electroactive and/or suitable for MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and/or PET (positron emission tomography) applications, comprise a micelle, which has a hydrophilic shell and an hydrophobic central portion, and a polysilicate core; the micelle comprises a plurality of molecules of a functionalized surfactant having the following structure: M
