title: Highly fluorescent core-shell hybrid nanoparticles templated by a unimolecular star conjugated polymer for a biological tool.
abstract: Highly fluorescent core-shell hybrid nanoparticles were readily fabricated from the soft template of a unimolecular star conjugated polymer (HCP-star-PDMAEMA). Since the hyperbranched conjugated polymer (HCP) core was isolated by a silicon dioxide (SiO(2)) shell, HCP@SiO(2) with excellent optical properties was retained in the aqueous solution for potential application in biological imaging.
