An azobenzene-based photochromic liquid crystalline amphiphile for a remote-controllable light shutter

By considering intramolecular conformations and intermolecular interactions, an azobenzene-based photochromic liquid crystalline amphiphile is synthesized for demonstrating a remote-controllable light shutter by the photo-induced isothermal phase transition between the highly ordered crystal phase a...

Summary:By considering intramolecular conformations and intermolecular interactions, an azobenzene-based photochromic liquid crystalline amphiphile is synthesized for demonstrating a remote-controllable light shutter by the photo-induced isothermal phase transition between the highly ordered crystal phase and the isotropic liquid phase.
