Core-shell polyorganosiloxane nanoparticles

Abstract Different oligo-DNA surface functionalized polyorganosiloxane nanoparticles have been synthesized and characterized. The core-shell polyorganosiloxane nanoparticles possess a hydrodynamic radius of 14.1 (sample code CS1) and 12.1 nm (sample code CS2), respectively. Coupling of different short chain poly(ethylene oxide)s resulted in water soluble nanospheres. For CS2-PEO110, a number of approximately 500 PEO per siloxane nanosphere has been determined. Two different (partially lluorescently... 

The synthesis of the polyorganosiloxane nanoparticles has been performed in aqueous dispersion as described before [1-10]. The nanoparticles possess a core-shell architecture and the employed monomer mixtures forming the core and shell are given in Table 1.
