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

Stimuli-responsive liquid foams and bubbles are systems for which the stability, structure,
shape, and movement can be controlled by the application of stimuli. The foam stability can …

Arylazopyrazole derivatives based on four core structures (4pzMe, 3pzH, 4pzH, and 4pzH-
F2) and functionalized with a dodecanoate group were demonstrated to store thermal …

Efficient solar energy harvesting offers great potential for a global energy utilization beyond
conventional fossil energy. However, current solar thermal approaches depend on sole …

Photoinduced manipulation of the nanoscale molecular structure and organization of soft
materials can drive changes in the macroscale properties. Here we demonstrate the first …

Solar thermal fuels offer a closed cycle and a renewable energy storage strategy by
harvesting photon energy within the chemical conformations of molecules and retrieving …

Azoarenes remain privileged photoswitches–molecules that can be interconverted between
two states using light–enabling a huge range of light addressable multifunctional systems …

Newly structured pH‐responsive smart surfactants (N+‐(n)‐N, n= 14, 16) from alkyl
trimethylammonium bromides are reported. In neutral and alkaline media N+‐(n)‐N behaves …

Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is a surface active polymer that can change its solubility as a
function of temperature. This makes HPC interesting for responsive foams, where …

The self-assembly of an arylazopyrazole-based photosurfactant (PS), based on
cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and its mixed micelle formation with CTAB in …
