  • NANOPARTICLES
    Publication number: 20210040260
    Abstract: Nanoparticle compositions comprising nanoparticles formed from ?-conjugated cross-linked polymers are disclosed, together with their methods of manufacture and their applications. Owing to the nature of the cross-links formed therein, the nanoparticle compositions afford a high degree of manufacturing flexibility and control, as well as being amenable to facile purification for the purpose of imaging and electronics applications.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 22, 2020
    Publication date: February 11, 2021

  • Method for producing aqueous compatible nanoparticles
    Patent number: 9044809
    Abstract: A method for producing aqueous compatible semiconductor nanoparticles includes binding pre-modified ligands to nanoparticles without the need for further post-binding modification to render the nanoparticles aqueous compatible. Nanoparticles modified in this way may exhibit enhanced fluorescence and stability compared to aqueous compatible nanoparticles produced by methods requiring post-binding modification processes.
    Type: Grant
