• hydrodynamic radius of 57 nm and 69 nm for the aggregate component. As these sizes are not superposed by the scattering signal of proteins, this observation gives evidence of a reduced diameter for the samples PEG@POS-NH2Q1 and PEG@POS-NH2Q2 in presence of proteins. For silver NPs, an additional sterical

• this problem. Stepanov et al. [22] have shown that the implantation of 60 keV Ag ions with fluences of (2–4) × 1016 ions/cm2 leads to the formation of silver NPs in glass near room temperature. It has been shown that Au atoms get buried [10] during the ion beam irradiation of thin films. Ion beam
