^a Parent AuNP, with no PEG coating ^b hydrodynamic radius determined in water. ^c % of PEG weight in dry samples; water is adsorbed on the solid samples used for TGA measurements, the % Au is calculated by subtracting the % of PEG and % of water to 100 (see SI for TGA profiles and details); ^d number of polymer chains per NP.
