Utilizing Polymer Micelle to Control Dye J-aggregation and Enhance Its Theranostic Capability

Summary: We utilize polymer micelle to precisely control indocyanine green (ICG) J-aggregation in a fast and highly efficient way. In addition to simple encapsulation, the polymer micelle plays a role as a host template to drive ICG J-aggregation by the synergy of electrostatic and hydrophobic attra...
