Flash nanoprecipitation of ultra-small semiconducting polymer dots with size tunability

Small-sized semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) provide better tissue and subcellular penetration while minimizing unspecific interactions, and make the fast clearance of Pdots from human bodies possible by urinary excretion. We employ a powerful and scalable technology, flash nanoprecipitation, to...

Description
Summary:Small-sized semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) provide better tissue and subcellular penetration while minimizing unspecific interactions, and make the fast clearance of Pdots from human bodies possible by urinary excretion. We employ a powerful and scalable technology, flash nanoprecipitation, to prepare Pdots with small sizes (hydrodynamic diameters ∼10 nm). Schematic illustration of Pdots produced by FNP.
