result is already obtained with C2F5, for which MBs of ≈1.0 μm in radius reach a half-life of ≈6.0 h. An atomic force microscopy investigation of spin-coated mixed films of DPPC/IONP@C2X5OEG8Den combinations (molar ratio 28:1) shows that the IONPs grafted with the fluorinateddendrons are located within
the phospholipid film, while those grafted with the hydrocarbon dendrons are located at the surface of the phospholipid film.

Microbubbles (MBs), that is
tension σ over time are collected in Figure 3 and Table 1. The results show that, not surprisingly, σ decreases with increasing Fe concentration in all cases. The lowest σ values were obtained for the IONPs grafted with the fluorinateddendrons, reflecting their higher hydrophobicity. We also observed
