Notes: The manufacturer provides information about the matrix and the functional group. The mean diameter, the PDI, and the zeta potential have been determined with a Malvern Zetasizer NanoZS. NPs were diluted in PBS (pH 7.3) before measurement, and the measurement was conducted at 25°C using 0.5 mg/mL NP concentrations.

Abbreviations: NP, nanoparticle; PDI, polydispersity index; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; PolyDADMAC, polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride.
