Tunable, High-Relaxivity Gd(III)-Conjugated Lipoic Acid Hydrogels for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
{{output}}
A lipoic acid(LA)-base hydrogel polymerization, viscosity, and relaxivity were explored by varying several different bases, additives, Gd3+ chelates, and with or without a reducing agent (tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine, TCEP). The polymerization of LA was great... ...
