  • Flexible poly-p-(phenyleneethynylene)s with controlled conjugation length and biodegradable conjugated polymers for target organelle specific labeling and drug delivery
    Patent number: 9757410
    Abstract: A novel monomer design for the synthesis of PPE-type polymers containing conjugated segments of well-defined length connected by flexible linkers under Sonogashira reaction conditions is presented. The resulting polymers retain the photophysical properties of a fully conjugated PPE. The extent of incorporation of the flexible units along the backbone is governed by the comonomer feed ratio and can be varied in a statistically predictable fashion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 19, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 12, 2017
    Assignee: THE FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
    Inventors: Joong Ho Moon, Rajeshkumar Manian, Eladio Mendez
