Bio-degradable highly fluorescent conjugated polymer nanoparticles for bio-medical imaging applications
Conjugated polymer nanoparticles have been applied for biological fluorescence imaging in cell culture and in small animals, but cannot readily be excreted through the renal system. Here the authors show fully conjugated polymer nanoparticles based on imidazole units that can be bio-degraded by acti...
