title: pH-responsive self-assembly of fluorophore-ended homopolymers.
abstract: pH-responsive perylene-ended amphiphilic homopolymers can self-assemble into flower-like structures by pH-adjustment. Both the π-π stacking of perylene end groups and the electrostatic repulsion effect of the polymer chains contribute to the pH-responsive self-assembly in aqueous solution.
