HYBRID SEMICONDUCTING POLYMER NANOPARTICLES AS POLARIZATION-SENSITIVE FLUORESCENT PROBES

摘要

Compositions of, methods of making, and methods of using hybrid nanoparticles comprise at least one semiconducting polymer and at least one nonsemiconducting polymer. Compositions of, methods of making and methods of using hybrid nanoparticles comprise at least one semiconducting polymer and non-semiconducting polymers wherein the non-semiconducting polymer comprises more than one non-semiconducting polymer such that at least one non-semiconducting polymer is functionalized for bioconjugation. The hybrid nanoparticles are polarization-sensitive and have low mass ratios with large fluorescence.
