Rapid controlled release by photo-irradiation using morphological changes in micelles formed by amphiphilic lophine dimers

Abstract Photo-induced rapid control of molecular assemblies, such as micelles and vesicles, enables effective and on-demand release of drugs or active components, with applications such as drug delivery systems (DDS) and cosmetics. Thus far, no attempts to optimize the responsiveness of photorespon...
