Chromophoric polymer dots

摘要

The present invention provides, among other aspects, stabilized chromophoric nanoparticles. In certain embodiments, the chromophoric nanoparticles provided herein are rationally functionalized with a pre-determined number of functional groups. In certain embodiments, the stable chromophoric nanoparticles provided herein are modified with a low density of functional groups. In yet other embodiments, the chromophoric nanoparticles provided herein are conjugated to one or more molecules. Also provided herein are methods for making rationally functionalized chromophoric nanoparticles.

主权项

1. A rationally functionalized chromophoric nanoparticle comprising a semiconducting polymer, having a total number of functional groups attached to the surface of the chromophoric nanoparticle, wherein the total number of functional groups is one, two, three, four, five, or six.
