New light-controlled material can switch between multiple structures on demand
This research opens the door to a new generation of smart materials – from self-healing surfaces and dynamic sensors to ...
We have investigated the attachment of azobenzene photochromic switches on the modified surface of cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs). The modification of CdS QDs is done by varying the ...
In a recent Communications Chemistry article, researchers presented a novel approach to interfacing with neuronal structures using light-responsive azobenzene polymer thin films. Image Credit: ...
Scientists show that azobenzene-containing film, important for many industries, does not need to be made entirely of light-sensitive material to function. Azobenzene-containing plastic film is a ...
Two polymers containing cyclodextrin and azobenzene side groups form a hydrogel that can be broken down by ultraviolet radiation and reformed upon warming or exposure to visible light. A gel forms ...
