Title: | Recent advances and potential applications of the photo-induced macroscopic response of self-assembled azopolymer in aqueous media | Authors: | Shen, Wenming Bai, Yu Hu, Jinhua Hu, Xiao |
Keywords: | DRNTU::Science::Chemistry | Issue Date: | 2014 | Source: | Bai, Y., Hu, J., Shen, W., & Hu, X. (2014). Recent advances and potential applications of the photo-induced macroscopic response of self-assembled azopolymer in aqueous media. Polymer International, in press. | Series/Report no.: | Polymer international | Abstract: | This mini-review highlights issues related to the photo-triggered macroscopic response of azopolymer in supramolecular hydrogel and polymer vesicles. Cyclodextrin (CD) can form an inclusion complex with trans-azobenzene while cis-azobenzene is expelled out of the CD's cavity. This photo-reversible supramolecular host − guest interaction is used to trigger sol − gel transitions and to induce macroscopic assembly. When substituted azobenzene is located at chain ends of linear polyethylene glycol, monodisperse vesicles are formed exhibiting a photo-induced pulsating behavior. The macroscopic phase transition and assembly or pulsating behavior of azopolymers can be expected to have potential applications as smart biomedical materials. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/102822 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/19142 |
