Ultra-stable biocompatible cross-linked fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles using AIE chain transfer agent†
Abstract
An aggregation induced emission (AIE) chain transfer agent was utilized for the first time to construct biocompatible cross-linked fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles (FPNs) for cell imaging applications. These FPNs were demonstrated to have bright fluorescence and ultra-stable dispersibility in extremely dilute physiological solution.
