We report the molecular design, synthesis and characterization of multifunctional unimolecular micelles formed by amphiphilic bottlebrush-like grafted block copolymers with theranostic functions of bright far red/near infrared (FR/NIR) fluorescence and anticancer drug delivery. Specifically, conjuga...
