Fluorescent hydrogels : Peptide hybrids composed of an oligo(p ‐phenylenevinylene)‐based ω‐amino acid and a β‐sheet‐forming sequence reversibly self‐assemble into fluorescent hydrogels upon a change in pH (see graphic). This study highlights how the combination of peptides and π‐conjugated oligomers could be a fruitful approach towards the control of self‐assembled structures.
