Abstract
In this article, current progress on semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) applied for both real-time imaging and phototherapy in living animals is mainly discussed. Firstly, several preparation methods for SPNs are summarized. Next, in vivo bioimaging of SPNs for fluorescence, chemiluminescence, afterglow, and photoacoustic imaging are introduced in detail. After that, cancer phototherapy including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) induced by SPNs is further discussed. In the end, a summary as well as outlook are presented, and existing challenges of SPNs are given.
