Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in research on metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs)–highly ordered microporous materials composed of metal ions and …

In recent years, stimuli responsive materials have gained significant attention in membrane
separation processes due to their ability to change specific properties in response to small …

Photochromic systems can convert light energy into mechanical energy, thus they can be
used as building blocks for the fabrication of prototypes of molecular devices that are based …

Photochemical switching has been studied of double-tailed phosphate amphiphiles
containing azobenzene units in both tails in aqueous vesicular dispersions and in mixed …

The construction of supramolecular architectures by the spontaneous self-assembly of
molecules is currently a subject of great interest in areas that range from chemistry and …

Aiming at modulating the packing density within functional self‐assembled monolayers
(SAMs), two azo‐biphenyl derivatives AZO1 and AZO2 comprising a terminal sulfur anchor …

This work studied the colloidal sphere formation, H-aggregation, and photoresponsive
properties of an amphiphilic random copolymer functionalized with branched azo side …

We demonstrate a new strategy for improved stabilization of polydiacetylene micelles. They
show temperature-induced color changes, which are fully reversible even at varying pH. A …

Hockey stick-shaped mesogens are fascinating thermotropic liquid crystal systems owing to
their exceptional supramolecular assembly properties and shape anisotropy compared to …

Potential applications of functional liquid crystals such as biosensors strongly rely on control
of the molecular orientation at interfaces. However, little knowledge regarding detailed …
