Paramagnetic particles and nanoparticles have been widely used in bioimaging and biomedical applications. In this paper, functionalized gadolinium carbonate (Gd2(CO3)3) particles with polyethylene glycol (PEG) for use as an MRI contrast agent were produced. These PEGylated particles were also used a...
