Metal-Free MRI Contrast Agents - a Radical Solution!

My paper on organic radical-functionalized polymers has just been published in ACS Macro Letters. This was work that was done 2 years ago at IBM Almaden Research Center. The idea behind this research was to employ a metal-free spin-active system that is also biodegradable. Our work on these radical-functionalized diblock copolymers can be accessed here: ACS Macro Lett. 2017, 6, 176-180.


Accompanying patent application: Chan, et al. “Biodegradable Organic Radical-Functionalized Polycarbonates for Medical Applications”, U.S. Patent App. 14/609,778, 2015.
