A shish-kebab-like supramolecular polymer and its light-responsive self-assembly into nanofibers

Abstract

This work reports on the synthesis and light-responsive self-assembly of a shish-kebab-like supramolecular polymer (SKSP). The SKSP has a linear alternating sequence structure and can self-assemble into nanofibers in water. In addition, the fibers can transform into spherical micelles under UV light due to the trans-to-cis isomerization of the azobenzene groups.
