Hydrogen bond modulated photothermal conversion and green-light-induced solid-liquid switching behaviors of azobenzene- and amide-functionalized poly(thioctic acid).
Functional materials with photo-triggered solid-liquid phase transition have aroused tremendous research interest for versatile advanced applications. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to precisely tailor their photothermal and adhesive properties via rational molecular design. Herein, a series of azobenzene and ami...
