Ultrasound Switch and Thermal Self-Repair of Morphology and Surface Wettability in a Cholesterol-Based Self-Assembly System

摘要

Recently,stimuli-responsive low-weight molecular organogels have been the subject of increasing attention in areas ranging from chemistry and biology to materials science for their potential applications,such as drug delivery,mechanical action(for example,triggered changes in shape or size),hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity modulation,optical and electronic effects,and so on.Despite a wide range of reported responsive materials,the mostly used stimuli involve light,reaction,and heat.
