Hydrogennuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were applied to characterize the azobenzenefunctionalized hyperbranched polyglycerol. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic laser light scattering (DLS) were employed to investigate and track the morphology of the rodlike large complex micelles before and after irradiation of UV light.展开更多

The critical aggregation concentration of gemini surfactants decreased pronouncedly by a factor of ca. 1000 owing to the complexation of p-sulfonato-calix[4]arene.展开更多
