Nanoparticle carriers are increasingly used for targeted drug delivery and other medical applications and ideally one would want several functionalities associated with one single nanocarrier. The authors report a method to improve collection and minimize aggregation of plasma polymerized nanoparticles by modifying the substrate design on which they are collected from a typical 2D geometry into a series of well-like structures which increase sample yield as well as inhibiting their fusion with the substrate itself.
