AB  - Novel amphiphilic π-conjugated polymer nanoparticles tailored to efficiently absorb in the near-infrared II (NIR-II) region of the electromagnetic spectrum (>1000 nm) are presented. To achieve this, it is statistically introduced triethylene glycol substituted bithiophene moieties in various contents into a polymer backbone consisting of alternating thiophene and [1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-g]quinoxaline. Through systematic modifications of monomer ratios, four amphiphilic conjugated polymers are produced. The presence of hydrophilic side chain, like triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, enhanced the polymer's concentration in aqueous media of up to 470
