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.
