Article Description

Recently, the design of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials with good water-solubility and biocompatibility has attracted much attention. In this work, amphiphilic AIE-active nanoparticles (KGM-TPE) were synthesized by a facile Schiff base condensation of oxidized konjac glucomannan with amino-tetraphenylethylene. The final KGM-TPE had good water dispersibility and could self-assemble into nanoparticles with average diameters ranging from 100 to 200 nm. A cytotoxicity test showed that the cell survival was approximately 90% even when the concentration of KGM-TPE reached 150 μg/mL, indicating that KGM-TPE possessed good biocompatibility. In addition, the excellent cell imaging and good anti-counterfeiting function results of KGM-TPE indicated that this material has great potential in the fields of biomedicine and anti-counterfeiting.
