Abstract

Amphiphilic PS-b-sPCHD copolymers can associate to form micelles with PS blocks as the core surrounded by sPHCD blocks in aqueous media. J-Aggregation of the chromophores in sPCHD blocks is significantly facilitated by the micellization, resulting in a remarkable change in the photophysical properties of PS-b-sPCHD.
