Iron oxide nanoparticles are used in vivo as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. Their widely used polymer coatings are directly involved in their biocompatibility and avoid magnetic aggregation. As these polymer brushes also limit their tissular diffusion due to important hydrodynamic si
## Abstract Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)βcoated iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by the thermal decomposition of Fe(CO)~5~ (iron pentacarbonyl) in one step. Xβray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electrophoretic light scattering (ELS), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and
