Water-soluble highly fluorescent poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] for cell labeling

Abstract

A novel fluorescent brush-like poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] (P(PEGMA)) has been synthesized via facile atom transfer radical polymerization using perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid bisimide (PBI) as the initiator. The PBI–P(PEGMA) polymer has strong fluorescence in water and will be an effective bio-dye for cell labeling.
