Reversibly Tuning the Viscosity of Peptide-Based Solutions Using Visible Light

Reversibly Tuning the Viscosity of Peptide-Based Solutions Using Visible Light
Reversibly Tuning the Viscosity of Peptide-Based Solutions Using Visible Light

Light can be used to design stimuli–responsive systems. We induce transient changes in the assembly of a low molecular weight gelator solution using a merocyanine photoacid. Through our approach, reversible viscosity changes can be achieved via irradiation, delivering systems where flow can be controlled non-invasively on demand.

Abstract

Light can be used to design stimuli–responsive systems. We induce transient changes in the assembly of a low molecular weight gelator solution using a merocyanine photoacid. Through our approach, reversible viscosity changes can be achieved via irradiation, delivering systems where flow can be controlled non-invasively on demand.
