Cells are integral to all forms of life due to their compartmentalization by the plasma
membrane. However, living organisms are immensely complex. Thus there is a need for …

Interest in stimuli-responsive polymers has persisted over many decades, and a great deal
of work has been dedicated to develo** environmentally sensitive macromolecules that …

Polymersomes, the structural analogues of liposomes, are hollow structures enclosed by a
bilayer membrane made from amphiphilic copolymers. Polymersomes have been proposed …

The molecular exciton model has received its mostextensive development and application in
the field ofmolecular crystals1• 2• More recently, numerous applications to non-crystalline …

The association state of light-responsive block copolymer (BCP) micelles in aqueous
solution can be altered, often reversibly, by light. Driven by the potential application in …

Amphiphilic polymers are well known for their characteristics to form various self-assembling
structures under proper conditions. Amphiphilic azo polymers, which are amphiphilic …

We report the formation of cylindrical micelles, sheet-like micelles, tubular micelles, as well
as polymer vesicles by a new series of amphiphilic linear− dendritic block-copolymers …

The development of polymers with efficient photoinduced reversible solid-to-liquid
transitions is desirable for the design of healable materials, reconfigurable devices, and …

We study the behavior of multicomponent giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) in the presence
of AzoTAB, a photosensitive surfactant. GUVs are made of an equimolar ratio of …

We report on the synthesis and characterization of a series of amphiphilic linear–dendritic
block copolymers (LDBCs) as well as their self-assembly in water. The LDBCs are …
