Abstract
The first hyperbranched BODIPY-based conjugated polymer dots (Pdots) were reported. The Pdots showed quantum yields of as high as 22%, which is 40% higher than their linear counterparts. The Pdots were successfully applied in cell-labelling applications. These results demonstrated that hyperbranched polymers are a very promising material for biological imaging and applications.
