Fig. 10: Detailed physical properties of the corona clusters at the surface of polystyrene NPs.

Plots of a the average cluster diameter distribution, b asphericity, and c anisotropy calculated via the eigenvalues of the gyration tensors of the corona clusters for the 10% (filled circles) and 50% (hollow circles) plasma concentration samples. The horizontal axis shows the distance of the clusters from the surface of the NPs. Error bars = standard deviation (n = 12 for the 10% concentration, and n = 9 for the 50% plasma concentration).
