title: Surfactant modification of aggregation-induced emission material as biocompatible nanoparticles: facile preparation and cell imaging.
abstract: Water soluble and biocompatible fluorescent organic nanoparticles based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) material were facilely prepared by mixing AIE material and surfactant. The utilization of such fluorescent organic nanoparticles for cell imaging applications was further explored.
