چکیده
An amphiphilic phosphodiester-linked azobenzene trimer has been exploited in the development of stimuli-responsive, water-soluble supramolecular polymers. The can reversibly undergo thermal and photoisomerization between Z- E-isomers. Its self-assembly properties aqueous medium have investigated by spectroscopic microscopic techniques, demonstrating that E- Z-azobenzene trimers form nanosheets toroidal nanostructures, respectively. By virtue E/Z units, two different morphologies be switched photoirradiation. findings pave a way towards polymers which hold great promise smart functional materials.

Influence of Linkage Chemistry on Folding, Self-Assembly, and Photoresponse of Amphiphilic Azobenzene Main Chain Polymers
Two types of amphiphilic polymers composed of azobenzene repeat units in the main chain connected either via ethynylene (acetylene) or butadiynylene (diacetylene) linkages and carrying oligo(ethylene glycol) side chains were reported. Synthesis was accomplished by polycondensation involving Sonogashira–Hagihara cross coupling and Glaser coupling, respectively. Solvent titration experiments reve...
متن کاملAzobenzene Polymers for Photonic Applications
Azobenzene, with two phenyl rings separated by an azo (–N=N–) bond, serves as the parent molecule for a broad class of aromatic azo compounds. These chromophores are versatile molecules, and have received much attention in research areas both fundamental and applied. The strong electronic absorption maximum can be tailored by ring substitution to fall anywhere from the ultraviolet (UV) to visib...
متن کاملElectrospinning Bioactive Supramolecular Polymers from Water
Electrospinning is a high-throughput, low-cost technique for manufacturing long fibers from solution. Conventionally, this technique is used with covalent polymers with large molecular weights. We report here the electrospinning of functional peptide-based supramolecular polymers from water at very low concentrations (<4 wt %). Molecules with low molecular weights (<1 kDa) could be electrospun ...
متن کاملSupramolecular polymerization from polypeptide-grafted comb polymers.
The helical and tubular structures self-assembled from proteins have inspired scientists to design synthetic building blocks that can be "polymerized" into supramolecular polymers through coordinated noncovalent interactions. However, cooperative supramolecular polymerization from large, synthetic macromolecules remains a challenge because of the difficulty of controlling the structure and inte...
متن کاملElastic properties of photoswitchable azobenzene polymers from molecular dynamics simulations.
Nanomechanical devices or molecular machines will, for a broad range of applications, most likely be powered by light or other kinds of electromagnetic radiation. The major reasons are ease of addressability, picosecond reaction times to external stimuli, and compatibility with a broad range of ambient substances, such as solvents, electrolytes, or gases. Azobenzene is a well-studied photoactiv...
