Light-Controlled Hierarchical Self-Assembly of Polyelectrolytes and Supramolecular Polymers

Matson, John B.; Navon, Yotam; Bitton, Ronit; Stupp, Samuel I.

Dynamic control over supramolecular interactions using various stimuli continues to drive the development of smart materials. We describe here the extension of dynamic self-assembly to a self-assembled hierarchical structure. A peptide amphiphile (PA) was designed with a photocleavable nitrobenzyl ester component such that it would undergo a sphere-to-cylinder transition upon…
