Research Abstract |
A photoresponsive compound which turns to be a cationic surfactant by irradiation was used as a functional compound. Mixture of the photoresponsive compound and anionic surfactant was found to afford micelle-to-vesicle transition. The photoresponsive compound was dissolved in the micelle of an anionic surfactant under dark conditions. In contrast, irradiation provided vesicles with a diameter of 10-200 nm. The photoinduced transition from micelle to vesicle involved encapsulation of glucose.
