Synthesis, Self-Assembly and Photoresponsive Behavior of Liquid Crystals Based on Azobenzene

A new amphiphilic surfactant (C4-Azo-C5-HDA) was formed by liquid crystals (LCs) based on azobenzene, whose structures were characterized by <sup>1</sup>H-NMR spectroscopy. The reversible hydrogelation upon changes in temperature and light exposure was also studied. Under the irradiation...
