Abstract
Long-circulating multifunctional Gd(III)-loaded multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified with polyethylene glycol are designed and synthesized. The formed MWCNTs are water-dispersible, stable, and have good cytocompatibility and antifouling property. With the low r 2 /r 1 relaxivity ratio and relatively long blood circulation time, the multifunctional MWCNTs are able to be used as a platform for enhanced blood pool and tumor MR imaging.
