Semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPN) have been emerging as novel functional nano materials for phototherapy which includes PTT (photo-thermal therapy), PDT (photodynamic therapy), and their combination. Therefore, it is important to look into their recent developments and further explorations specifically in cancer treatment. Therefore, the present review describes novel semiconducting polymers at the nanoscale, along with their applications and limitations with a specific emphasis on future perspectives. Special focus is given on emerging and trending semiconducting polymeric nanoparticles in this review based on the research findings that have been published mostly within the last five years.
半导体聚合物纳米颗粒(SPN)已成为用于光疗的新型功能纳米材料,光疗包括光热疗法(PTT)、光动力疗法(PDT)及其联合疗法。因此,研究它们在癌症治疗方面的最新进展和进一步探索具有重要意义。因此,本综述描述了纳米级新型半导体聚合物,及其应用和局限性,并特别强调了未来展望。基于大多在过去五年内发表的研究结果,本综述特别关注新兴和热门的半导体聚合物纳米颗粒。
