Optical Switching of Self-Assembly: Micellization and Micelle-Hollow-Sphere Transition of Hydrogen-Bonded Polymers

摘要

One attractive goal of supramolecular chemistry is to control molecular self-assembly by an external stimulus.Temperature and pH are the stimuli that have been studied primarily,although light irradiation is regarded as the most reliable external stimulus as it involves only photochemical processes,which are energy saving and easily controllable.
