Thermal isomerization process in benzene gels of l-glutamic acid-derived lipids with spiropyran head groups

Abstract

First-order kinetic behaviour during the thermal isomerization process of lipids with photochromic spiropyran head groups in benzene strongly depends on the dispersion state of the lipids and this enables the determination of their critical aggregation concentrations.
