Biocompatible onions : Different composites of carbon nano‐onions (CNOs) and poly(4‐vinylpyridine‐ co ‐styrene) (PVPS) or poly(ethylene glycol)/polysorbate 20 (PEG‐P20) were prepared by non‐covalent modification. Attachment creates the charged CNO surface for further functionalization with 3‐mercaptopropionic (MPA) or 2‐mercapto‐4‐methyl‐5‐thiazoleacetic acids. Such hydrophilic CNO composites were an appropriate platform for electrostatic immobilization of polyphenolic compounds, such as quercetin (Q).
