Photoinduced viscosity control of lecithin-based reverse wormlike micellar systems using azobenzene derivatives
This report describes the controlled viscosity changes of photoresponsive reverse wormlike micellar systems formed by soybean lecithin (SoyPC), d-ribose, and azobenzene derivatives in decane. UV light irradiation produces a significant (150-fold) decrease in solution viscosity by triggering a struct...

| Sumario: | This report describes the controlled viscosity changes of photoresponsive reverse wormlike micellar systems formed by soybean lecithin (SoyPC), d-ribose, and azobenzene derivatives in decane. UV light irradiation produces a significant (150-fold) decrease in solution viscosity by triggering a structural transformation of the wormlike micelles. Subsequent visible light irradiation leads to recovery of the initial micellar structure and elevated solution viscoelasticity. This dramatic, reversible variation in solution viscosity by light irradiation can be applied to cosmetics, personal care products, and device components. |
