Luminescence-enhanced conjugated polymer dots through thermal treatment for cell imaging

Abstract

Conjugated polymer dots (Pdots) are often used as excellent fluorescent probes in biomedical field. In the process of preparing Pdots, the rapid change of the solvent polarity will result the...

Semiconducting polymer dots for multifunctional integrated nanomedicine carriers

“…These agents showed promise as imaging-guided therapeutics for clinical cancer treatment and a range of biomedical applications. Recently, Wu et al focused on enhancing the fluorescence intensity of Pdots by optimizing the stacking of conjugated polymer chains through low-temperature thermal annealing [ 436 ]. This treatment resulted in a fluorescence enhancement of approximately 11%–29%, while preserving the Pdots' stability and biosafety.…”
