Photoresponsive Supramolecular Soft Materials
in Aqueous Media
Door Shaoyu Chen
1. Marangoni Flows, derived from the dynamic adsorption/desorption of photoresponsive amphiphiles at air-water interfaces, are promising to create out-of-equilibrium interfacial motions.
Angew. Chem. 2019, 131, 9243
2. For comparing surface tension variations of photoresponsive azobenzene amphiphiles upon light irradiation, it is important to specify the types of surface tension, i.e., equilibrium surface tension or dynamic surface tension (Langmuir 2003, 19, 10764). Photoresponsive azobenzene amphiphiles with negligible variation of equilibrium surface tension can present significant differences in dynamic surface tension (Langmuir 1999, 15, 4404; Soft matter
2011, 7, 7866).
3. To obtain ultrastable and unstable foams, designing water-soluble photoresponsive amphiphiles with a rigid hydrophobic moiety can be a strategy.
Langmuir 2017, 33, 7908
4. Synthetic organic chemistry can be a tedious art. Repeating synthetic processes is sometimes boring, however a new molecule is a piece of art on its own!
5. Designing supramolecular self-assembly systems is like playing lego. Small building blocks create a fascinating and delicate artificial world.
6. Telling stories in a vivid and interesting way is an essential skill for scientists. 7. My life is effectively lengthened after using autocolumn machines.
8. Chemists should consider to visualize exciting reactions to show the amazing world of chemistry to the public.
9. Being diligent does not mean working inefficiently for a long time, but solving problems wisely and efficiently.
10. Trying to imagine the unimaginable is desirable in doing research as well as in our life.
