  • Publication number: 20170080112
    Abstract: Disclosed are magnetic and fluorescent nanoassemblies having reverse architectures. Especially, the nanoassemblies include an organic fluorescent inner core and magnetic nanoparticles contacting the surface of the fluorescent core. The nanoassemblies may further be coated by a polymer adsorbed at its surface, the polymer being optionally functionalized. Also described is a process for manufacturing the nanoassemblies, as well as use of the nanoassemblies, especially for multimodal imaging; in vitro and/or in vivo diagnostics through multimodal imaging; ex vivo sensing and/or extraction; and/or therapy.
    Type: Application
