Abstract
Nanoparticle compositions comprising nanoparticles formed from π-conjugated cross-linked polymers are disclosed, together with their methods of manufacture and their applications. Owing to the nature of the cross-links formed therein, the nanoparticle compositions afford a high degree of manufacturing flexibility and control, as well as being amenable to facile purification for the purpose of imaging and electronics applications.
Claims20
A nanoparticle composition comprising a plurality of nanoparticles formed from a π-conjugated cross-linked polymer, the π-conjugated cross-linked polymer comprising
- a) 80-99.9 mol. % of π-conjugated monomers, and
- b) 3-10 mol. % of a cross-linker having the formula I shown below:
- wherein
- Z1 and Z2 are monomeric moieties, and
- Y is absent, a bond, or a linking group.
