A controllable approach to development of multi-spectral conjugated polymer nanoparticles with increased emission for cell imaging

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Nov 21;49(90):10623-5. doi: 10.1039/c3cc46605a.

Abstract

The authors demonstrate a smart and versatile approach for preparing multi-spectral conjugated polymers from a commercial precursor MEH-PPV without tedious synthetic modification. Multi-color CPNs with small size have also been successfully prepared using a modified-reprecipitation procedure for live cell imaging.
