Abstract

An aggregation induced emission monomer with two amino end-groups was facilely incorporated into stable cross-linked fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles (FPNs) via room temperature anhydride ring-opening polycondensation and subsequent cross-linking with polyethylenimine. These FPNs showed high water dispersibility, uniform size, intense red fluorescence, and excellent biocompatibility, making them promising for cell imaging applications.
