We demonstrate a new type of anisotropy in thin films of amorphous azobenzene polymers induced between 570 and 633 nm, where the absorbance in the film is on the order of 0.05. The anisotropy has a pronounced radial contribution. This

Photothermally responsive supramolecular polymers containing azobenzene units have been synthesised and employed as dispersants for multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in organic solvents. Upon triggering the trans-cis isomerisation of the supramolecular polymer intermolecular interactions between MWCNTs and the polymer are established

Over the last decades azobenzene has been the most widely used optical trigger for the synthesis of photoresponsive systems ranging from poly-alpha-amino acids to innovative materials with light-controlled mechanical and optical properties. More recently, its use in form of appropriate

The growth processes of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of two azobenzene disulfides formed on flat gold surfaces were studied to confirm the effect of the intermolecular interactions between azobenzene molecules on the light-triggered surface morphologies of the SAMs. Scanning tunneling microscopy
