Amphiphilic molecules, comprising hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties and the intrinsic
propensity to self‐assemble in aqueous environment, sustain a fascinating spectrum of …

Using light to control liquid motion is a new paradigm for the actuation of microfluidic
systems. We review here the different principles and strategies to induce or control liquid …

Three series of new oligomeric cationic surfactants were synthesized. These amphiphiles
are trimeric and tetrameric oligomeric quaternary ammonium chlorides, with spacer groups …

The influence of ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on the emulsification properties of mixtures
of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and a photoresponsive cationic …

Recently, photosensitive surfactants have re-attracted considerable attention. It has been
shown that their association with oppositely charged biologically important polyelectrolytes …

A novel photoresponsive surface active ionic liquid (SAIL) 1-(4-methyl azobenzene)-3-
tetradecylimidazolium bromide ([C14mimAzo] Br) with azobenzene located in the …

A new gemini surfactant with an azobenzene group incorporated in the spacer has been
synthesized. In water, this new compound forms a photo-responsive fluid, and the properties …

Multistate self-assembled micro-morphology transitions controlled by host–guest
interactions - Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C3CC48491B …

A novel cationic gemini surfactant with the hydrophenanthrene structure has been
synthesized from dehydroabietic acid by use of conventional thermal conditions and …

In this work, light-responsive viscoelastic wormlike micelles based on
cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (CTAOH) and cinnamic acid derivatives, including …
