Photoswitchable Nanostructures by Electrostatic Self-Assembly

该项目的目标是开发基于光酸和离子螺吡喃与聚电解质的静电自组装的新型光开关组件，以及设计更复杂的多组分结构。关键是通过结构和热力学的互补研究，对组装体的形成和转换进行物理化学研究。相互作用参数的详细说明以及随后的选择将使人们能够对静电自组装粒子的光开关有基本的了解，从而实现有针对性的结构设计。

Goal of this project is the development of new photoswitchable assemblies based on the electrostatic self-assembly of photoacids and ionic spiropyrans with polyelectrolytes, as well the design of more complex multicomponent structures. Key is the physical-chemical investigation of the assembly formation and switching by a complementary study of structure and thermodynamics. A detailed elucidation – and thereby later choice – of the interaction parameters will enable a fundamental understanding of the photoswitching of electrostatically self-assembled particles and thus a targeted structure design.
