I have synthesized PVP coated iron oxide nanoclusters( approx. 250-300nm diameter) using hydrothermal method. But the nanoparticles are not very stable in water and keep falling down. How can I improve the stability of the nanoclusters? Should I use some post synthesis ligand exchange methods to replace the PVP with some other biocompatible ligands that will make the nanoclusters stable in water. Please help.
