Investigating the grafting mechanism via surface interactions and isoelectric point measurements.

Main Results:

Successful grafting of pegylated dendrons onto IONPs was achieved.
Grafting occurred through interactions between phosphonate groups and the IONP surface.
Isoelectric point shifted to pH 4.7 with increased dendron grafting, ensuring electrostatic stability at physiological pH.
Magnetic properties of IONPs were preserved due to super-super exchange interactions.

Conclusions:

Phosphonate-mediated dendron grafting provides electrostatic stabilization of IONPs at physiological pH.
This approach yields biocompatible magnetic nano-objects suitable for biomedical applications.
The method preserves the intrinsic magnetic properties of the nanoparticles.
