Enhanced photoluminescence from poly(phenylene vinylene):dendrimer polyelectrolyte assemblies in solution.
Poly(2,5-methoxy-propyloxy sulfonate phenylene vinylene)(MPS-PPV) and DAB-Am-16, a generation 3.0 polypropylenimine hexadecamine dendrimer (DAB), are shown to form a tunable photoresponsive polyelectrolyte assembly in aqueous solution with an enhanced emission signal of up to 18-times that of MPS-PPV alone.
