Novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) polymers (NS1andNS2) were prepared through reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacylate and a new AIE monomer with a vinyl group. TheNS1andNS2copolymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography,1H NMR spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which proved their successful syntheses. Such amphiphilic copolymers could self-assemble into fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles (FPNs) in water with good dispersibility, which were spherical in shape. The prepared FPNs ofNS1had a size range of 50–150 nm, strong green fluorescence in aqueous solution with fluorescence quantum yield of 31%, and low critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 0.030 mg mL−1. TheNS2FPNs exhibited size range of 200–300 nm, intense green fluorescence with quantum yield of 38%, and CMC of 0.037 mg mL−1. These FPNs were demonstrated highly biocompatible for cell imaging. By virtue of excellent biocompatibilityviaPEG modification, good particle stability with low CMC, and AIE fluorescent polymers with high photostability, the FPNs constructed in this work showed obvious advantages. This strategy should inspire new approaches to prepare novel biocompatible AIE fluorescent polymers for biomedical application.
