与其他刺激响应材料相比，含偶氮苯的聚合物在与生物的接口方面提供了巨大的优势和机会。偶氮苯的快速、可逆和无害的顺反几何异构化可以在聚合物材料中发生分子内和分子间的戏剧性变化。偶氮苯的用途已经从着色剂发展到光学存储材料，最近在各种生物主题应用中也得到了应用。这篇综述强调了近年来这种光开关所产生的广泛影响，并提供了光化学和生物学之间的界面研究的快照。从可光可逆的胶束和多肽到受控的药物释放和传感，偶氮苯的多功能性使其成为许多新兴应用中受欢迎的光开关。(C)2013年威利期刊公司J.Polym。科学，A部分：多晶硅。化学。2013、51、3058-3070
Azobenzene-containing polymers offer tremendous advantages and opportunities over other stimuli-responsive materials to interface with biology. Azobenzene's fast, reversible, and innocuous cis-trans geometrical isomerization can be leveraged into dramatic intra- and inter-molecular changes when incorporated in polymeric materials. Azobenzene use has grown from a colorant, through to optical storage materials, and most recently in a variety of biologically themed applications. This review highlights the broad impact this photo-switch has had in recent years and offers a snapshot of the research landscape at the interface between photochemistry and biology. From photo-reversible micelles and peptides to controlled drug release and sensing, the versatility of azobenzene makes it a favored photo-switch found in many emerging applications.
