Self-Assembly of Semiconducting Polymer Amphiphiles for In Vivo Photoacoustic Imaging by Xie, Chen, Zhen, Xu, Lei, Qunli, Ni, Ran, Pu, Kanyi

“…Despite the advantages of semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) over other inorganic nanoparticles for photoacoustic (PA) imaging, their synthetic method is generally limited to nanoprecipitation, which is likely to cause the issue of nanoparticle dissociation. The synthesis of near-infrared (NIR) absorbing semiconducting polymer amphiphiles (SPAs) that can spontaneously self-assemble into homogeneous nanoparticles for in vivo PA imaging is reported. …”
