The synthesized polymer is grafted to a dispersant, which is itself adsorbed by the quantum dot. The result is 10-20 nm core-shell particles (inorganic-organic) with very good colloidal stability whose shells can easily be bound to biological ligands. By combining Prof. L\u2019Esp\u00e9rance\u2019s expertise in the field of high-resolution imaging (including high resolution imaging at low dose, high-resolution imaging with negative contrast agent and X-ray spectroscopy) to that of Prof. Claverie, the synthesis of core-shell particles was demonstrated.<\/p>\n<h3>REFERENCES<\/h3>\n<p>[1] J.C.
