Abstract
A novel nanohybrid comprised of upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs) and fluorescent conjugated polymers (PFVCN) is rationally fabricated. The new UCNP/PFVCN nanohybrids combine the excellent antibacterial ability of PFVCN and the near IR (NIR) absorbing property of UCNPs, which allows for NIR-mediated antibacterial through the effective fluorescence resonance energy transfer from UCNPs to PFVCN accompanied with generation of reactive oxygen species to kill bacteria.
