title: Spiropyran-based polymeric vesicles: preparation and photochromic properties.
abstract: A direct access to photochromic polymeric vesicles was demonstrated via polymerization-induced self-assembly and reorganization (PISR). The resulting vesicles displayed interesting photochromic behaviors different from that of their free polymer chains in DMF, and the vesicles exhibited stronger fluorescence and excellent photostability due to confinement of conformational flexibility of the polymer chains in aggregates.
