Supramolecular Assembly and Reversible Transition and of Chitosan Fluorescent Micelles by Noncovalent Modulation

<div>Schematic illustration of self-assembly between TPE-(N-COOH)<sub>4</sub> and chitosan via different interactions to form PIC and HBC micelles, respectively, under acid-based-controlled condition. The pH-mediated transformation of PIC to HBC micelles marked by AIE enhancement is reversible.</div>
