Polymer-encapsulated organic nanoparticles for fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging
In this Critical Review, we summarize the latest advances in the development of polymer encapsulated nanoparticles based on conjugated polymers and fluorogens with aggregation induced emission (AIE) characteristics, elucidate the importance of matrix selection and structure–property relationship of these nanoparticles and discuss their applications in fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging.
