dc.description.abstractRecent interest has surged in colloidal and self-assembling systems that can respond to internal and external stimuli. Of the possible response mechanisms, light is seen as a clean and low energy ‘reagent’ for stimulating physical and chemical changes. We have recently synthesized a library of light-addressable surfactant molecules based around the photo isomerisable azobenzene core, coupled to sugar head-groups [1]. Depending on their molecular geometry, these molecules self-assemble into a wide variety of micellar structures, from small spheres to worms, fibres and liquid crystals, and the diversity of this self-assembly is uncovered using small-angle neutron scattering. By using time-resolved SANS, we can watch as the micelles change their shape in real time as the molecules undergo photo-isomerisation, pointing to applications in the delivery of sensitive cargoes, and the modulation of biological and cellular processes.en_AU
