Accurate diagnosis of tumor is promising to guide photothermal therapy (PTT) for efficacious tumor ablation with minimal damage to healthy tissues. Here, we report an activatable dual-modal imaging agent, which is based on PEGylated-gadolinium metallofullerene-polypyrrole nanoparticle (PEG-GMF-PPy NP) for imaging-guided

Protein- and Peptide- Polymer Conjugates by RAFT Polymerization

The modification of biomacromolecules, such as peptides and proteins, through the attachment of synthetic polymers has led to a new family of highly advanced biomaterials with enhanced properties.

A Micro Review of Reversible Addition/Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) Polymerization

We presents an article about a micro review of reversible addition/fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. RAFT (Reversible Addition/Fragmentation Chain Transfer) polymerization is a reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) and one of the more versatile methods for providing living characteristics to radical polymerization.
