An easy to synthesize azobenzene based amphiphile spontaneously self-assembles into monodisperse nanoaggregates in water. The large difference in the critical aggregation concentration between the E and Z stereoisomeric forms enables photocontrol of its aggregation state over a wide concentration range: Light-triggered release and uptake of lipophilic molecules is achieved in aqueous solution.

Abstract

The large difference in the critical aggregation concentration between the E and Z stereoisomeric forms enables photocontrol of its aggregation state over a wide concentration range: Light-triggered release and uptake of lipophilic molecules is achieved in aqueous solution.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
