| Abstract: | Attractive combination: Biopolymer‐modified nanoparticles which combine magnetic properties with biocompatibility are prepared and delivered following a three‐step strategy (see figure): i) Adsorption of thiol‐capped metal nanoparticles on graphite, ii) electrochemical modification, iii) potential‐induced delivery of the modified nanoparticles to the electrolyte.  |
