Abstract
Polymers, monomers, chromophoric polymer dots and related methods are provided. Highly fluorescent chromophoric polymer dots with narrow-band emissions are provided. Methods for synthesizing the chromophoric polymers, preparation methods for forming the chromophoric polymer dots, and biological applications using the unique properties of narrow-band emissions are also provided.
Claims22
A polymer dot comprising:
- a condensed chromophoric polymer comprising a narrow-band monomer and one or more general monomers, wherein the narrow-band monomer is integrated into the condensed chromophoric polymer,
- wherein a ratio of a number of the narrow-band monomer to the one or more general monomers is in a range of about 1:20 to about 1:1000;
- and wherein the one or more general monomers comprise energy donors and the narrow-band monomer is an energy acceptor configured to receive energy from a general monomer of the one or more general monomers.
