54. We have previously found that for the cylindrical micelles of a fluorescent triblock copolymer PFS-b-P2VP-b-PDEHPV (PDEHPV=2,5-di(2'- ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylvinylene), the presence of the conjugated block (PDEHPV) in the corona promoted slow aggregation of the micelles into hierarchical flower-like structures. This secondary assembly was reversible upon warming the solution to 50 °C for 30min. See:, F. He, T. Gädt, I. Manners, M. A. Winnik, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 9095
