Synthesis and Characterization of Polylactide-siloxane Block Copolymers as Magnetite Nanoparticle Dispersion Stabilizers

Polylactide-siloxane triblock copolymers with pendent carboxylic acid functional groups have been designed and synthesized for study as magnetite nanoparticle dispersion stabilizers. Magnetic nanoparticles are of interest in a variety of biomedical applications, including magnetic field-directed dr...
