Abstract

PEGylation of aggregation induced emission (AIE) based fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs) via one pot ring-opening polymerization and condensation reaction was developed for the first time. Thus PEGylated FONs exhibited high water dispersibility, strong fluorescence, uniform morphology and more important excellent biocompatibility, implying their high potential for various biomedical applications.
