Self-assembly method for core/shell nanoparticles with enhanced emission

DWPI Title: Core/shell nanoparticle with enhanced emission, comprises a fluorescent conjugated polymer core that is encapsulated by an amphiphilic block copolymer shell
Abstract: A core/shell nanoparticle with enhanced emission comprises a fluorescent conjugated polymer core that is encapsulated by an amphiphilic block copolymer shell. The core/shell nanoparticle structure confines the electronic charge to improve quantum yield and is water soluble to enable low-cost and environmentally friendly processing.
Use: Used as core/shell nanoparticle.
Advantage: The nanoparticle confines the electronic charge to improve quantum yield and is water soluble to enable low-cost and environmentally friendly processing, thus exhibiting strong photoluminescence emission.
Novelty: Core/shell nanoparticle with enhanced emission, comprises a fluorescent conjugated polymer core that is encapsulated by an amphiphilic block copolymer shell.
