Well-defined pH-and thermo-multi-responsive fluorescent micelles based on the self-assembly of diblock copolymers poly[(N-isopropyl-acrylamide-co-N-vinylcarbazole)-b-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate], (PNIPAAM-co-PNVC)-b-PDMAEA, are described. The diblock copolymers are prepared via the reversible ad
