| Research Abstract |
The aim of the project is to control the motion of sub-millimeter size myelin self-assembly (myelin tube) composed of oleic acid and functional organic molecules. Amphiphilic azobenzene containing myelin tubes showed straighten and coiling motion by photoirradiation with ultraviolet light and visible light, respectively. In the photoinduced macroscopic dynamics, it became clear that both of structural change of azobenzene molecule by photoisomerization and acid dissociation behavior of oleic acids byazobenzene-isomerization take an important role.
