Abstract

Aqueous dispersions of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) capped poly[2-(2′,5′-bis(2″-ethylhexyloxy)phenyl)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (BEHP-PPV) nanospheres with an average particle diameter of 13 nm have been synthesised by a miniemulsion route and used in simple intracellular imaging experiments.
