Fig. 2

a Schematic illustration of the controlled aggregation of CPs in solvent-swollen host matrix films through the Ostwald ripening growth mechanism. b Wide-field fluorescence images of MEH-PPV/PMMA blended films before and after SVA with different processing conditions. The value of Vg/Vp is denoted in parentheses. c The number of MEH-PPV aggregates per imaging area (blue) and their mean fluorescence intensity (gray) for different SVA conditions.
