Dispersion of Cu-TMV, 16 hr after synthesis. (a) Chemical structure of C11-PEG-SH. (b) SEM image and (c) size distribution of Cu-TMV determined by Nanosight nanoparticle size determination system. (d) SEM image and (e) size distribution of Cu-TMV-C11 from Nanosight nanoparticle size determination system. Inserts: pictures of the samples 5 min after agitating the tubes. Data demonstrates the successful dispersion of the Cu-TMV after treatment with C11-PEG-SH.
