Abstract

Abstract:

Amphiphilic molecules in the solution can be associated to form micelles, vesicles, liquid crystals, emulsions and other ordered molecular aggregates. The incorporation of functional groups in the molecules can regulate the types and properties of ordered molecular aggregates by altering the structure, concentration or introduction of external stimuli. As a green, adjustable clean energy, light is an ideal external stimulus signal. The introduction of photo-responsive groups in amphiphilic molecules enables the assembly of ordered aggregates, which can be modulated by light and further functional control. This paper reviews the recent research on light-regulated molecularly ordered aggregates as well as the practical application in biology, conduction and nanomaterials. At the same time, the future development of the functional and orderly molecular aggregation of light regulation is prospected.

Key words: light-regulated, azobenzene, amphiphilic molecules, ordered aggregates, functionality
