In this article, we report the formation of micelles from a tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) end-functionalized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (poly(NIPAM)) derivative (1). We have determined the critical aggregation concentration (CAC) and average diameter of the micelles using fluorescence spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering experiments, respectively. We have exploited the NIPAM backbone of the polymer to thermally transform the swollen hydrophilic poly(NIPAM) derivative to a more globular hydrophobic state at the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Finally, we have shown that we can exploit the chemical oxidation and complexation properties of the TTF unit to disrupt the micelle architecture to release the hydrophobic dye Nile Red from the interior of the micelle.
