1. An aggregation sensor soluble in a polar medium comprising:

  • (a) a conjugated polymer comprisinga plurality of first optically active units forming a conjugated system, having a first absorption wavelength at which the first optically active units absorbs light to form an excited state, anda plurality of solubilizing functionalities; and

    (b) one or more second optically active units that can receive energy from the excited state of the first optically active unit;

    said aggregation sensor comprising at least three first optically active units per second optically active unit;

    wherein the second optically active unit is grafted to the conjugated polymer.
