    Reversible pH- and photocontrollable carbohydrate-cased surfactants
    (Wiley Online Library, 2014-09-11) Tabor, RF; Tan, DD; Han, SS; Young, SA; Seeger, ZLE; Pottage, MJ; Garvey, CJ; Wilkinson, BL
    The parallel synthesis and properties of a library of photoswitchable surfactants comprising a hydrophobic butylazobenzene tail-group and a hydrophilic carbohydrate head-group, including the first surfactants to exhibit dual photo- and pH-responsive behavior, is reported. This new generation of surfactants shows varying micelle morphologies, photocontrollable surface tension, and pH-induced aggregation and adsorption. © 2014, WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
