The research aims to explore the reactivity of micellar cores traditionally considered inert by analyzing their hydrated properties.
Embedding clusteroluminescent chromophores into micelles to assess their properties.
Evaluating the response of these chromophores to changes in polarity within the micellar environment.
Demonstrated that micellar cores exhibit polarity-sensitive reactivity when hydrated.
Revealed significant chemical activity within the previously assumed inert nanospace of the micelles.
Abstract
Embedding environment-responsive clusteroluminescent chromophores into micelles unlocks the long-assumed inert micellar core, revealing a polarity-sensitive, hydrated, and chemically reactive nanospace.
