Abstract

Abstract : In article number1802089, Ilja K. Voets and co‐workers report on the temporally programmed, self‐regulating formation and dissociation of complex coacervate core micelles (C3Ms) comprising a double hydrophilic block copolymer and a pH‐responsive polyfluorene‐based conjugated polyelectrolyte as building blocks and a molecular sensor (doxorubicin HCl) as cargo. The latter (macro)molecular probes report in‐situ on micellar assembly states and cargo release via their unique fluorescence response.
