Fluorescent polymer fine particle

摘要

The invention provides a fluorescent polymer fine particle having at least; a polymer particle having a core-shell configuration having a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic shell; and a fluorescent lanthanoid dye that is integrated with the polymer particle and has a fluorescent lanthanoid cation, wherein a hydrophilic polymer which forms the hydrophilic shell has a polymerizable unit and at least one hydrophilic unit selected from the group consisting of a hydrophilic (meth)acrylamide unit and a hydrophilic vinyl amine unit. The invention further provides a method for forming the fluorescent polymer fine particle having at least dispersing and polymerizing a hydrophobic radical polymerizable monomer in an aqueous solvent in the presence of a radical generator and the presence of a components for forming a hydrophilic polymer which forms the hydrophilic shell; and introducing the fluorescent lanthanoid dye with the polymer particle.
