Azobenzene-Based Ionic Liquid Switches Phase Separation of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Aqueous Solutions as a Molecular Trigger, Leading to UV Shutdown of Ionic Transport

This paper presents a light-switchable phase separation of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) in aqueous solutions using an azobenzene-based ionic liquid as a molecular trigger. A different UV re...
