Abstract
Controlling the supramolecular chirality of a self-assembly system by molecular structure design and external stimuli in aqueous solution is significant but challenging. Here, we design and synthesize several glutamide-azobenzene-based amphiphiles with different length alkyl chains. The amphiphiles can form self-assemblies in aqueous solution and show CD signals. As the number of the alkyl chain of amphiphiles increases, the CD signals of the assemblies can be enhanced. However, the long alkyl chains conversely restrict the isomerization of the azobenzene and the corresponding chiroptical property. Moreover, the alkyl length can determine the nanostructure of the assemblies and exert critical influence on the dye adsorption efficiency. This work exhibits some insights into the tunable chiroptical property of the self-assembly by delicate molecular design and external stimuli, and emphasizes the molecular structure can determine the corresponding application.

Abstract
Precise modulation of neuronal activity by neuroactive molecules is essential for understanding brain circuits and behavior. However, tools for highly controllable molecular release are lacking. Here, we developed a photoswitchable nanovesicle with azobenzene-containing phosphatidylcholine (azo-PC), coined 'azosome', for neuromodulation. Irradiation with 365 nm light triggers the trans-to-cis isomerization of azo-PC, resulting in a disordered lipid bilayer with decreased thickness and cargo release. Irradiation with 455 nm light induces reverse isomerization and switches the release off. Real-time fluorescence imaging shows controllable and repeatable cargo release within seconds (< 3 s). Importantly, we demonstrate that SKF-81297, a dopamine D1-receptor agonist, can be repeatedly released from the azosome to activate cultures of primary striatal neurons. Azosome shows promise for precise optical control over the molecular release and can be a valuable tool for molecular neuroscience studies.

Abstract
Diffusion-based translocation along DNA or RNA molecules is essential for genome regulatory proteins to execute their biological functions. The reduced dimensionality of the searching process makes the proteins bind specific target sites at a "faster-than-diffusion-controlled rate". We herein report a photoresponsive slider-track diffusion system capable of self-assembly rate acceleration, which consists of (-)-camphorsulfonic acid, 4-(4'-n-octoxylphenylazo)benzenesulfonic acid, and isotactic poly(2-vinylpyridine). The protonated pyridine rings act as the footholds for anionic azo sliders to diffusively bind and slide along polycationic tracks via electrostatic interactions. Ultraviolet light triggers the trans to cis isomerization and aggregation of azo sliders, which can be monitored by multiple spectroscopic methods without labeling. The presence of vinyl polymer track increases the aggregation rate of cis azobenzene up to ∼20 times, depending on the stereoregularity of the polymer chain, the acid/base ratio and the addition of salt. This system has a feature of simplicity, monitorability, controllability, and could find applications in designing molecular machines with desired functionalities.

Abstract
Controlling the structural transition between well-defined architectures found in living system is essential in polymer chemistry as well as material science. Herein, the reversible conformational switch of a non-natural polypeptide with an aromatic ring (2,6-naphthalene spacer) on its peptide backbone, referred to as an arylopeptide, between two distinct well-defined helical structures (extended 31 -helix and contracted 41 -helix) using side chain solvation is demonstrated. The folding selectivity of the arylopeptide and found that the affinity between the solvent and side chains is an essential factor for determining the global structure is investigated. A thermoresponsive arylopeptide bearing oligoether groups (─(CH2 CH2 O)9 CH3 )) on the side chain is designed, which exhibited unique lower critical solution temperature behavior and converted from the 31 to the 41 -helix depending on the temperature. Furthermore, the solvent affinity of the entire polymer by combining substituents (─(CH2 CH2 O)3 CH3 and ─C12 H25 ) with different properties on the side chains to achieve a spring-like expansion-contraction system that allows interconversion between 31 - and 41 -helices is adjusted.

Abstract
This work highlights the effect of azobenzene photoisomerization on the morphologies and properties of the nanostructured thermosets involving epoxy and a diblock copolymer. First, a diblock copolymer composed of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(6-(4-(4-cyanophenylazo)phenoxy)hexyl methacrylate) (PCPHM) was synthesized, and this diblock copolymer was composed of an epoxy-philic block (i.e., PEO) and an azobenzene moiety-beating block (viz., PCPHM). This diblock copolymer was introduced into epoxy to obtain the nanostructured thermosets via reaction-induced microphase separation approach. To control the configuration of azobenzene moieties of the PCPHM block, the curing reactions were performed in the absence and/or presence of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, respectively. It was found that, without UV irradiation, the PCPHM microdomains were generated with the trans isomers of azobenzene. Under UV irradiation, however, the PCPHM microdomains were formed with the cis configuration of azobenzene moieties. The ultraviolet-visible light (UV-vis) spectroscopy showed that the trans and cis configurations of azobenzene moieties were significantly fixed with the occurrence of curing reactions. The photoluminescent measurements showed that the nanostructured thermosets with trans-azobenzene moieties can emit fluorescence, which was in sharp contrast to those with cis-azobenzene moieties. The results of small-angle X-ray and atomic force microscopy showed that the nanostructured thermosets with trans and cis isomers of azobenzene moieties had quite different morphologies. It was found that the sizes of the PCPHM microdomains with cis configuration of azobenzene moieties were significantly larger than those with trans configuration. The difference in configuration of azobenzene moieties also resulted in the difference in glass-transition temperatures and dielectric properties of the materials. The results suggest a new approach to modulate the morphologies and physical properties of the nanostructured thermosets by means of photoisomerization of azobenzene moieties.

Abstract
A methodology for producing dual structural systems of macromolecules, which involves flipping the unsymmetrical aromatic rings on the main chain is presented. Previously, we reported a non-natural polypeptide containing an aromatic ring on the peptide backbone, called a poly "arylopeptide". Herein, we used 2,6-naphthalene rings as axially unsymmetrical spacers, which has two geometrical isomers, anti and syn, to create dual structural properties. The miniscule energy difference between the two geometrical isomers can be amplified by incorporating the 2,6-naphthylene units into the polypeptide backbone, which creates a thermodynamic driving force for the formation of two specific global structures (i.e., 31-helix or 41-helix) biased toward one side geometrical isomer depending on the side chain. Additionally, the 31-helix can be switched to the 41-helix upon addition of a small amount of additives, indicating a conformational conversion from an identical sequence. The developmental dual helical systems exploit basic molecular geometry and can serve as a design platform for synthetic polymers.

Abstract
Inspired by nature, comprehensive understanding and ingenious utilization of the self-organized wrinkling behaviors of the sandwiched multilayer bonded on substrates are important for engineering and/or functional laminated devices design. Herein, we report a facile and effective strategy to regulate the wrinkles morphology evolution and the resultant hierarchical surface micropatterns on azobenzene-based laminated multilayers by visible-light irradiation. Revealed by systematic experiments, the photocontrolled dynamic wrinkle evolutions are triggered by the reversible photoisomerization of azobenzene in the top azopolymer film and are strongly dependent on the intermediate photoinert layers (e.g., polystyrene and oxygen plasma-induced SiO x layer) with the wrinkle-reinforcing effect or the stress relaxation acceleration effect. Interestingly, large-area well-defined hierarchical surface wrinkle patterns could be fabricated on the multilayers upon selective exposure. In the unexposed region, the wrinkles evolved into highly oriented patterns, whereas in the exposed region, they were fully erased or evolved into smaller-wavelength wrinkles. This study not only sheds light on the morphological evolution of the wrinkling laminated composites in engineering and nature but also paves a new avenue to conveniently and controllably realize the hierarchical stimulus-responsive surface patterns.
