## Abstract Iron‐oxide nanoparticles were functionalized with epoxy groups and were dispersed into a dicyclo‐aliphatic epoxy resin to obtain organic‐inorganic hybrid coatings via cationic ring‐opening photopolymerization. TEM investigations confirmed that the filler has a size‐distribution range be

✦ Synopsis
In order to develop thin-walled superparamagnetic nanoparticle suspensions as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging, phosphorylcholine PC was used to coat iron oxide cores of 5 nm. Weak stable positively charged suspensions can be obtained at concentration greater than 3 mmol.l-1 (corresponding to about 3.2 molecules per nm2), while the addition of phosphorylglycerol PG decreases the electrophoretic mobility. Raising the pH over 6 leads to flocculation: the binding of PC on iron oxides as a function of pH appears to be reversible. By Langmuir analysis, two adsorption domains may be observed with a maximal density of 3.48 and 6.55 mol.nm-2, interpreted as a multilayer formation. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
