We report a simple and rapid method to prepare extremely bright, functionalized, stable, and biocompatible conjugated polymer nanoparticles incorporating functionalized polyethylene glycol (PEG) lipids by reprecipitation. These new nanoparticles retain the fundamental spectroscopic properties of conjugated polymer nanoparticles prepared without PEG lipid, but demonstrate greater hydrophilicity and quantum yield compared to unmodified conjugated polymer nanoparticles. The sizes of these hybrid nanoparticles, as determined by TEM, were 21–26 nm. Notably, these nanoparticles were prepared with several PEG lipid functional end groups and the biotin and carboxy moieties can be easily bioconjugated. We have demonstrated the availability of these end groups for functionalization using the interaction of biotin PEG lipid conjugated polymer nanoparticles with streptavidin. Biotinylated PEG lipid conjugated polymer nanoparticles bound streptavidin-linked magnetic beads, while carboxy and methoxy PEG lipid modified nanoparticles did not. Similarly, biotinylated PEG lipid conjugated polymer nanoparticles bound streptavidin-coated glass slides and could be visualized as diffraction-limited spots, while nanoparticles without PEG lipid or with non-biotin PEG lipid end groups were not bound. To demonstrate that nanoparticle functionalization could be used for targeted labeling of specific cellular proteins, biotinylated PEG lipid conjugated polymer nanoparticles were bound to biotinylated anti-CD16/32 antibodies on J774A.1 cell surface receptors, using streptavidin as a linker in a sandwich format. These data demonstrate the utility of these new nanoparticles for fluorescence based imaging and sensing. We report a simple and rapid reprecipitation method to prepare extremely bright, functionalized, and biocompatible conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) incorporating functionalized polyethylene glycol (PEG) lipids. These 21–25 nm CPNs demonstrate greater hydrophilicity and quantum yield than unmodified CPNs and are highly stable in solution. We demonstrate bioconjugation and targeted delivery to antibody stained cells using biotin-functionalized PEG lipid PFBT nanoparticles.
