Chemical structures of BF2dbm(I)PLLA (1) and mPEG-b-PDLA (2) used to prepare pegylated BNPs, shown schematically. The NP corona is composed of mPEG chains (red lines), while the core contains PLLA (dashed lines) and PDLA (black lines). BF2dbm(I) dye molecules are shown as blue spheres within the stereocomplex core.
