Thin-Shelled PEGylated Perfluorooctyl Bromide Nanocapsules for Tumor-Targeted Ultrasound Contrast Agent

Shell thickness determines the acoustic response of polymer-based perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) nanocapsule ultrasound contrast agents. PEGylation provides stealth property and arms for targeting moieties. We investigated a modulation in the polymer formulation of carboxy-terminated poly(D,L-lactide...
