  • Compact nanoparticles for biological applications
    Patent number: 9078920
    Abstract: A water soluble nanoparticle can include a ligand of formula (I). The ligand can provide zwitterionic character and can provide water solubility, small hydrodynamic diameter, chemical stability, and the capability to modify the nanoparticle with additional functional moieties such as a small molecule, nucleic acid, or protein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 15, 2012
    Date of Patent: July 14, 2015
    Assignee: MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

  • Copolymer-associated nanomaterial
    Patent number: 8894891
    Abstract: A nanomaterial can include an outer layer including a ligand. The ligand can include a first monomer unit including a first moiety having affinity for a surface of the nanocrystal, a second monomer unit including a second moiety having a high water solubility, and a third monomer unit including a third moiety having a selectively reactive functional group or a selectively binding functional group. The ligand can be a random copolymer.
