Biocompatible fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles based on AIE dye and phospholipid monomers†
Abstract
Phospholipid monomer was utilized for the first time to construct aggregation induced emission (AIE) dye based cross-linked fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles. Such nanoparticles showed intense fluorescence and stable dispersibility in physiological solution below the critical micelle concentration, coupled with excellent biocompatibility, making them promising for cell imaging application.
