The invention provides a D-A type asymmetric non-conjugated
polymer based on an ATQ
electron withdrawing unit, in which stereo conformation (asymmetric + non-conjugated) PATQ-DPP breaks the planarity of a
polymer main chain, and an absorption peak is expanded to an NIR-II window region, so that the photoacoustic
signal intensity is effectively improved. The PATQ-DPP is used as a core and is blended with a
phospholipid compound through an ultrasonic
precipitation method to obtain the water-soluble nano-particles, and the photoacoustic and photothermal properties of the three-dimensional conformation PATQ-DPP-NPs are obviously superior to those of two conjugate plane structures. The ATQ unit is subjected to three-dimensional conformation (asymmetric + non-conjugate) modification, compared with a
polymer with a conjugate plane and a main
chain structure, the polymer has better brightness and
signal-to-
noise ratio, PATQ-DPP has a narrower
band gap, and therefore the photoacoustic
signal intensity is effectively improved, and the
photoelectric conversion efficiency is improved. And the nanoparticles prepared by taking the PATQ-DPP as the core for wrapping have higher
photothermal conversion efficiency and photoacoustic imaging signals.
