Abstract

Conjugated polymer nanoparticles have shown great promise in biological imaging due to their stable optical properties and inert composition but are usually polydispersed. By encapsulating conjugated polymer CN-PPV with a thin silica shell, it is possible to generate photo-stable, nearly monodispersed hollow nanoparticles with tuneable emission.
