Abstract

We have developed highly fluorescent multiblock conjugated polymer nanoparticles for bioimaging and in vivo tumor targeting. We have shown that folate functionalized conjugated polymer nanoparticles exhibit preferential cell assocn. and uptake in vitro compared to non-functionalized nanoparticles. [on SciFinder(R)]
