Semiconducting Polymer Nanoparticles

Optimized excitation wavelength and emission window are essential for fluorescence imaging with high quality. Semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) as fluorescent contrast agents have been extensively studied, but their imaging abilities in the second near infrared IIb window (NIR-IIb, 1500 to 1700 nm) with long excitation wavelength have not been reported yet. Herein, as a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate for the first time that an SPN named L1057 nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit intense NIR-IIb signal due to its ultra-high brightness and broad emission spectrum. After screening 915 nm as an optimal excitation wavelength, we applied L1057 NPs to visualize the whole body vessels, cerebral vessels, gastrointestinal tract, and tumor progression in different stages, achieving superior spatial resolution and signal to background ratio in the NIR-IIb window with respect to NIR-II window (1000 to 1700 nm). This study reveals that simultaneous optimization of excitation wavelength and emission window is an efficient strategy to enhance imaging quality and that L1057 NPs can serve as a promising NIR-IIb contrast agent for high-resolution and deep-tissue imaging.
