Abstract

Unimolecular fluorescent micelles of star polyelectrolytes with a perylenediimide core are very sensitive to changes in pH values. The pH-responsive behavior relies on the ionization or deionization of the star polyelectrolytes, which causes a reversible volume phase transition and optical response.
