I've been experimenting with T10 dextran
coated iron oxide nanoparticles, obviously not the same as fullerenes, but still a very interesting tool, I've been testing if the
coating is giving the
particle antioxidant abilities because of it's the (basically) indigestable sugar chains (glucose) creating a high surface area which are largely made from hydroxyl groups, I hypothesised this act's as a «sink» for reactive oxygen species converting them to water.
