Strategies for the synthesis of water-soluble conjugated polymers

Enhancing photoluminescence of conjugated nanoparticles through graft polymer architectures

“…20 P3HT-alkyne, PMMA-alkyne, and PEO-alkyne were also synthesized according to literature procedures. 20,38,39…”

“…20 P3HT-alkyne, PMMA-alkyne, and PEO-alkyne were also synthesized according to literature procedures. 20,38,39 General synthesis of graft polymers An oven dried 20 mL vial was charged with a stir bar and PMMA-alkyne or P3HT-alkyne. The polymers were dissolved in THF and tetrabutylammonium fluoride solution 1.0 M in THF (TBAF) was added.…”

A biophotonic device based on a conjugated polymer and a macrophage-laden hydrogel for triggering immunotherapy

“…In this regard, water-soluble conjugated polymers (WSCPs) with p-conjugated backbones and positively charged side chains can make contributions due to their excellent biocompatibility and photosensitivity. [26][27][28][29][30] Moreover, benefitting from the facile modifiability of organic compounds, WSCPs have demonstrated a wide optical adjustment range which is favorable for cooperation with multiple luminescence modalities such as chemiluminescence, bioluminescence and electroluminescence to fabricate bio-electronic devices for biomedical applications. 31 But the profile electroluminescent technology of OLEDs has not cooperated with WSCPs, even though OLEDs can be used as the irradiation source for photosensitizing oxygen and generating ROS.…”

Unconventional conjugation in macromonomers and polymers

“…Coincident with this growth, one can also find extensive studies targeting the development of new synthetic approaches to conjugated systems. [13][14][15] Our goal in this review is not to rehash the extensive literature on conjugated polymer synthesis, structure-property relationships or applications but rather to highlight systems that exhibit what might be defined as unconventional conjugation. Thus, to begin with, it is expedient that we first provide a working definition of conjugation.…”
