Recent years have witnessed tremendous progress and developments of the
photoswitchable spiropyran-based polymers, owing to distinctive and particular …

The reversible isomerism of indolinospirobenzopyrans is perhaps among the most studied
phenomena in the field of molecular switches. Although they began to gain attention as early …

Molecular confinement effects can profoundly alter the physicochemical properties of the
confined species. A plethora of organic molecules were encapsulated within the cavities of …

Metastable-state photoacids (mPAHs) are chemical species whose photo-activated state is
long-lived enough to allow for proton diffusion. Liao's photoacid (1) represents the archetype …

Photoacids are organic molecules that release protons under illumination, providing
spatiotemporal control of the pH. Such light-driven pH switches offer the ability to cyclically …

Understanding the convection flows driven by the uneven temperature distribution in heated
aqueous solutions is fascinating and meaningful both in fundamental and industrial aspects …

Achieving light-induced manipulation of controlled self-assembly in nanosized structures is
essential for develo** artificially dynamic smart materials. Herein, we demonstrate an …

Four photochromic spiropyran‐amylose (ASP) biobased polymers with different spiropyran
(SP) grafting density, DS, ASP10 (DS= 0.12), ASP40 and ASP40PA60 (DS= 0.40), and …

The problems of counterfeiting and duplicating valuable products such as confidential
papers, banknotes, passports, nationality cards, and other vital documents have been …
