Abstract
This study aims to elucidate the origin of nonlinear stress relaxation behaviors in transient networks using a systematically controlled model system consisting of the tetra-armed polyethylene glycols (Tetra-PEG slime) in conjunction with two-dimensional rheo-optics observations. Transient networks, characterized by their temporary cross-links, are extensively utilized in self-healing and robust materials. However, the molecular mechanisms governing their viscoelastic responses to large deformations have remained elusive. This is primarily due to the heterogeneous structures inherent in conventional transient networks and a scarcity of detailed experimental evaluations. By employing Tetra-PEG slime, which is distinguished by its regular structure with uniform strand lengths and functionalities, and the polarization imaging method, we overcome these obstacles. Our results reveal that the damping phenomena observed under large step strains arise from spatially heterogeneous relaxation, predominantly driven by network strand pullout. These insights lay a solid foundation for understanding the intricate rheological properties of transient networks.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive materials are increasingly needed for the development of smart electronic, mechanical, and biological devices and systems relying on switchable, tunable, and adaptable properties. Herein, we report a novel pH- and temperature-responsive binary supramolecular assembly involving a long-chain hydroxyamino amide (HAA) and an inorganic hydrotrope, boric acid, with highly tunable viscous and viscoelastic properties. The system under investigation demonstrates a high degree of control over its viscosity, with the capacity to achieve over four orders of magnitude of control through the concomitant manipulation of pH and temperature. In addition, the transformation from non-Maxwellian to Maxwellian fluid behavior could also be induced by changing the pH and temperature. Switchable rheological properties were ascribed to the morphological transformation between spherical vesicles, aggregated/fused spherical vesicles, and bicontinuous gyroid structures revealed by cryo-TEM studies. The observed transitions are attributed to the modulation of the head group spacing between HAA molecules under different pH conditions. Specifically, acidic conditions induce electrostatic repulsion between the protonated amino head groups, leading to an increased spacing. Conversely, under basic conditions, the HAA head group spacing is reduced due to the intercalation of tetrahydroxyborate, facilitated by hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Lanthanide-containing, water-based fluids normally suffer from low photoluminescent (PL) and/or colloidal stability, which greatly hinders their applications. Herein, we report the preparation of PL fluids which contain in situ formed europium complexes in aqueous solution. The strategy first relies on the construction of wormlike micelles by mixing a zwitterionic surfactant (tetradecyldimethylaminoxide, C14DMAO) and a tridentate ligand for a lanthanide cation (2,6-dipicolinic acid, DPA) in water. The addition of the dual-functionalized DPA to an aqueous solution of C14DMAO (100 mol L-1) induced non-monotonic rheological changes, with the expected formation of a pseudogemini surfactant at a DPA-to-C14DMAO molar ratio of approximately 1 : 2. When a third component of EuCl3 is introduced to this system, complexes formed in situ between Eu3+ and DPA, resulting in bright red-emission. Besides DPA, C14DMAO is also involved in the complexation, which squeezes out water molecules and greatly improves the PL stability of the fluid. The synergetic effect among Eu3+, DPA and C14DMAO leads to the high colloidal stability of the fluid, opening the door for a wide range of potential applications. Further tests indicate that this strategy can be easily expanded to other lanthanide cations such as Tb3+.

Abstract
A highly water-soluble rosin-based surfactant (C14-MPA-Na) was synthesized. Novel temperature-responsive supramolecular hydrogels were further prepared using C14-MPA-Na. The microstructure and the mechanical properties of the hydrogels were investigated. Unexpectedly, instead of the long one-dimensional structure, a new kind of twisted semicircular aggregate was formed in the hydrogels, which was rarely reported. Besides, the hydrogels possessed excellent shear-recovery properties. Upon heating to 40 °C, the hydrogels transformed into viscoelastic solutions, which were constructed by worm-like micelles. By adjusting the temperature, the hydrogels and the viscoelastic solutions could be freely transformed. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to further explore the possible self-assembly mechanism of C14-MPA-Na. The curved alkane chain which partially overlapped with rosin's rigid skeleton became stretched when heated to 40 °C. The introduction of the rosin rigid skeleton endowed the supramolecular hydrogels with a novel microstructure and contributed to the development of strategies for the utilization of forest resources.

Abstract
The increasing concern about chiral pharmaceutical pollutants is connected to environmental contamination causing both chronic and acute harmful effects on living organisms. The design and application of sustainable surfactants in the remediation of polluted sites require knowledge of partitioning between surfactants and potential pollutants. The interfacial and thermodynamic properties of two gemini surfactants, namely, alkanediyi-α,ω-bis(dimethylhexadecyl ammonium bromide) (16-s-16, where s = 10, 12), were studied in the presence of the inherently biodegradable oxime-functionalized ionic liquid (IL) 4-((hydroxyimino)methyl)-1-(2-(octylamino)-2-oxoethyl)pyridin-1-ium bromide (4-PyC8) in an aqueous solution using surface tension, conductivity, fluorescence, FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopic techniques. The conductivity, surface tension and fluorescence measurements indicated that the presence of the IL 4-PyC8 resulted in decreasing CMC and facilitated the aggregation process. The various thermodynamic parameters, interfacial properties, aggregation number and Stern–Volmer constant were also evaluated. The IL 4-PyC8-gemini interactions were studied using DLS, FTIR and NMR spectroscopic techniques. The hydrodynamic diameter of the gemini aggregates in the presence of promethazine (PMZ) as a potential chiral pollutant and the IL 4-PyC8 underwent a transition when the drug was added, from large aggregates (270 nm) to small micelles, which supported the gemini:IL 4-PyC8:promethazine interaction. The structural transitions in the presence of promethazine may be used for designing systems that are responsive to changes in size and shape of the aggregates as an analytical signal for selective detection and binding pollutants.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The self-assembly of ionic surfactants in deep eutectic solvents has recently been demonstrated, opening up new possibilities in terms of the development of formulated products and templating of nanostructured materials. As it occurs in an aqueous environment, the solvophobic effect drives the formation of micelles in these solvents and specific-ion interactions alter the resulting structures. We hypothesized that the presence of hydrotropic salts would greatly affect the micellar structure in deep eutectic solvents, ultimately leading to the formation of worm-like aggregates. EXPERIMENTS A systematic investigation performed on hydrotrope-surfactant assemblies in neat and hydrated 1:2 choline chloride:glycerol is presented. The effect of choline salicylate on the micellization of hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride at different hydrotrope-to-surfactant ratios was probed by contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering. FINDINGS Here the first investigation on salt-induced micellar growth in deep eutectic solvents is presented. The microscopic characterization of the system shows that the micelle-hydrotrope interaction in pure and hydrated deep eutectic solvents results in a significant increase in micelle elongation. The condensation of the hydrotrope on the micelle, which alters the effective monomer packing, leads to the formation of worm-like micelles with tunable morphology and flexibility. The results presented here present new possibilities in terms of self-assembly and co-assembly in neoteric solvents, where micelle morphology can be controlled through surfactant-salt interactions.

Abstract
The goal of this work is to study the effect of crude oil on worm-like micelles and identify any oil-tolerant systems. A new class of nonionic surfactants was synthesized that forms viscous worm-like micelles under a wide range of temperature and salinity conditions. Aqueous stability, rheology, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy imaging, and dynamic-light-scattering measurements were performed to understand properties, shape, and size of the micelles formed using these surfactants under different temperatures and salinity conditions and in the presence of hydrocarbons. These micellar solutions maintained high viscosity in the presence of small amounts (up to 8 vol %) of crude oils and pure hydrocarbons. Similar experiments were performed with conventional surfactant systems that were known to form worm-like micelles; they did not show oil tolerance. Larger alkanes and viscous crude oils affect the viscosity and transformation of cylindrical micelles less. These new surfactants are useful for oil and gas operations such as hydraulic fracturing, conformance control, and mobility control as they form viscous worm-like micelles in the presence of small amounts of crude oils.

Abstract
We report new dirhamnolipid ester forming reverse wormlike micelles in nonpolar solvents without the addition of any primer. Therefore, these compounds represent a rare case of a binary system showing this gel-like behavior. In this study, the influence of the concentration of the rhamnolipid ester and the ester alkyl chain length on the rheological properties of the reverse wormlike micelles in toluene was investigated in detail. Highly viscoelastic solutions were obtained even at a relatively low concentration of less than 1 wt %. The phase transition temperatures indicate that the formation of reverse wormlike micelles is favored for dirhamnolipid esters with shorter alkyl chain lengths. Oscillatory shear measurements for the viscoelastic samples reveal that the storage modulus (G') and the loss modulus (G'') cross each other and fit the Maxwell model very well in the low-ω region. As is typical for wormlike micelle systems, the normalized Cole-Cole plot of G''/G'' max against G'/G'' max was obtained as a semicircle centered at G'/G'' max = 1. The formation of network structures was also verified by polarized light microscopy. The sample was birefringent at ambient temperature and anisotropic at an elevated temperature. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis yielded a transition enthalpy of about ΔH SG/GS = ±7.2 kJ/mol. This value corresponds to a strong dispersion energy and explains the formation of the highly viscous gels by the entanglement of wormlike micelles through the interaction of the alkyl chains.

Abstract
Multiple-responsive supramolecular vesicles have been successfully fabricated by the complexation between β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and a pH/photo dual-responsive amphiphile 4-(4-(hexyloxy)phenylazo)benzoate sodium (HPB) with azobenzene and carboxylate groups. When mixing β-CD with HPB to reach a host/guest molar ratio of 1 : 1, the azobenzene group of HPB could be spontaneously included by β-CD molecules. Then, the formed inclusion complexes (HPB@β-CD) could self-assemble into vesicles, which was driven by the hydrophobic interaction of the alkyl chain of HPB and the hydrogen bonds between neighboring β-CDs. The reversible assembly/disassembly of the vesicles could be simply regulated under UV or visible light irradiation. The reversible phase transformation between vesicles and microbelts could also be realized by adjusting the pH values of the sample. Adding both competitive guest molecules (1-adamantane carboxylic acid sodium (ADA)) and α-amylase would result in the phase transformation from vesicles to micelles. Moreover, the vesicles would be destroyed when β-CD was continuously added until the ratio of host/guest reached 2 : 1. Such an interesting quintuple-responsive vesicle system reported here not only has potential applications in various fields such as controlled release or drug delivery, but also provides a reference for the design and construction of multiple responsive systems. A quintuple-responsive vesicle system was successfully fabricated by simply mixing HPB with an equal amount of β-CD.![]()

Abstract
Wormlike micelles (WLMs) have been successfully constructed from many different C22-tailed surfactants. Here, we creatively introduced a bulky piperazine group onto a C22-tailed zwitterionic surfactant, N-erucamidopropyl-N,N-piperazine-N-methyl ammonium propanesulfonate (EDPS), and investigated the micellar structure and properties of the EDPS WLMs via molecular dynamics simulation, cryo-TEM and rheological techniques. It was found that 25 mM EDPS increased the zero-shear viscosity to as high as ∼106 mPa s. Furthermore, abnormal rheological behaviors, such as an inflection in the shear thinning region of steady rheology and an abrupt decrease of the shear stress at a critical shear rate, were observed, which was attributed to the unique ladder shape micellar structure. The EDPS WLMs were superior to other C22-tailed surfactants in many aspects, such as a low overlapping concentration, higher viscosity, stable viscosity over the whole pH range, and great temperature and salt (NaCl, CaCl2 and MgCl2) tolerance.

Abstract
It is of great significance to explore novel applications of renewable resources. In this study, a rosin-based anionic surfactant (abbreviated R-11-2-Na), which contains a large hydrophobic group of 30 carbon atoms, was synthesized. R-11-2-Na forms wormlike micelles in the presence of the equimolar organic salt choline chloride, endowing solutions with strong viscoelasticity. The wormlike micellar solutions were investigated using rheology, small-angle X-ray scattering, and freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy (FF-TEM) methods at 25 °C. Due to the strong van der Waals interactions caused by the large hydrophobic group contained in R-11-2-Na, the zero-shear viscosity (η0) of solutions showed extremely strong dependence on the concentration with an exponent of 23.4. The cross-sectional diameter of the wormlike micelles in the present system was significantly larger than that of the wormlike micelles formed by surfactants containing conventional alkyl tails. This finding may be attributed to the steric hindrance brought by the bulky and rigid dehydroabietic acid unit in the hydrophobic part. The wormlike micelles also showed high tolerance to the organic salt concentration. The present study reveals the notable qualities of rosin-based derivatives in forming complex fluids and facilitates new utilizations of forest resources.

Abstract
Responsive wormlike micelles are very useful in a number of applications, whereas it is still challenging to create dramatic viscosity changes in anionic surfactant systems. Here a differential pH-responsive wormlike micelle based on sulfonic surfactants was developed, which is formed by mixing sodium dodecyl trioxyethylene sulphate (SDES) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium (EDTA4-·4Na+) at the molar ratio of 1 : 1. The phase behavior, aggregate microstructure and viscoelasticity of the SDES/EDTA4-·4Na+ solution were investigated via macroscopic observation, cryo-TEM and rheological measurements. It was found that the phase behavior of the SDES/EDTA4-·4Na+ solution undergoes transitions from a water-like fluid to viscoelastic upon decreasing the pH. On decreasing the pH from 12.01 to 3.27 by adding HCl, the viscosity of the transparent solutions with wormlike micelles was increased rapidly and reached ∼3100 mPa s. Furthermore, on increasing the pH by adding NaOH, the viscosity was slightly increased due to the addition of Na+. However, the increase in the concentration of Na+ is much smaller than the theoretical addition. The same phenomenon was noted in the sodium citrate solution, but does not exist in the sodium formate system. The viscosity of the micellar solution has a sensitive response to inorganic acids and tolerance to inorganic bases due to the characteristics of polybasic acids.

Abstract
Gemini surfactants 18-s-18(Et), comprised of two ethylammonium headgroups and two alkyl tails with m = 18 carbon atoms with spacers of s = 4, 6, 8 and 10 linking the headgroups (alkanediyl-α,ω-bis(diethyloctadecylammonium bromides)), were obtained. Their aqueous solution behaviour, including adsorption at the interface and aggregation in solution, was followed by tensiometric, conductometric and spectroscopic methods. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the surfactants decreased with increasing spacer length. The size of 18-s-18(Et) aggregates formed at concentrations of 10 and 40 CMC measured by DLS varied with the elongation of the spacer. Visualisation of aggregated surfactant structures at 40 CMC by cryo-TEM evidenced the formation of different morphologies depending on spacer length. Gemini with s = 4 formed elongated, cylindrical micelles, while geminis of s = 6, 8 and 10 self-assembled into vesicles. The ability of the studied geminis to solubilise hydrophobic dye Sudan I in water was determined as a function of surfactant concentration, demonstrating their high efficiency. Results for 18-s-18(Et) geminis were compared with those previously obtained for their analogues containing an amide group placed between headgroups and tails. The significant impact of amide groups on the surface activity and aggregation properties of gemini surfactants was evidenced and is related to hydrogen-bond formation by amide-containing compounds.

Abstract
A novel bio-based anionic surfactant containing a large rigid group and a flexible alkyl chain, namely, sodium N-dodecyl-maleimidepimaric carboxylate (C12-MPA-Na), was synthesized from rosin. The molecular structure of C12-MPA-Na was identified using 1H NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy and MS. Despite containing 36 carbon atoms, C12-MPA-Na showed good water solubility at room temperature. Large spherical aggregates with diameters of 100-200 nm were formed by C12-MPA-Na when its concentration was above 0.1 mM, which was slightly higher than the critical micelle concentration (0.078 mM). Annular wormlike micelles were discovered with increasing C12-MPA-Na concentration, and began to change into extremely long threadlike wormlike micelles when the C12-MPA-Na concentration reached approximately 58 mM. The viscoelastic properties of the wormlike micelle solutions were investigated using steady state and oscillatory shear sweep rheological measurements. The zero-shear viscosity (η0) strongly depended on the concentration of C12-MPA-Na, and the scaling exponent was 34.1. Cryo-TEM confirmed the formation of large spherical aggregates and wormlike micelles. 1H-1H 2D nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) was used to detect the molecular interactions of C12-MPA-Na. The results indicated that the alkyl chain of C12-MPA-Na was partially overlapped with its non-planar rigid structure in aqueous solution, and the possible aggregation process for C12-MPA-Na was proposed.

Abstract
Smart wormlike micelles with stimuli-tunable rheological properties may be useful in a variety of applications, such as in molecular devices and sensors. The formation of triplestimuli-responsive systems so far has been a challenging and important issue. In this work, a novel triplestimuli (photo-, pH-, and thermoresponsive) wormlike micelle is constructed with N-cetyl-N-methylmorpholinium bromide and trans-cinnamic acid (CA). The corresponding multiresponsive behaviors of wormlike micellar system were revealed using cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, a rheometer, and 1H NMR. The rheological properties of wormlike micellar system under different temperatures, pH conditions, and UV irradiation times are measured. As confirmed by 1H NMR, chemical structure of a CA molecule can be altered by the multiple stimulation from an exotic environment. We expect it to be a good model for triple-responsive wormlike micelles, which is helpful to understand the mechanism of triple-responsiveness and widen their applications.

Abstract
Wormlike micelles were successfully fabricated by the self-assembly of a single-tailed zwitterionic surface-active ionic liquid (SAIL), 3-(1-hexadecyl-3-imidazolio) propanesulfonate β-naphthalene sulfonate (C16IPS-Nsa), in aqueous solutions without any additives. With increasing zwitterionic SAIL concentration, spontaneous transition from micelles to wormlike micelles and then a hexagonal phase occurs. Interestingly, the wormlike micelles are closed, stretched and directionally arranged, which was rarely found in previous research studies. This kind of wormlike micelle is useful to serve as novel soft template in the synthesis of functional materials. 1H NMR illustrated that the introduced π-π stacking and hydrophobic interactions originated from the hydrophobic aromatic counterions are responsible for the structural transformation. Density functional theory (DFT) simulated the optimum configuration of C16IPS-Nsa and calculated the interaction energy of C16IPS-Nsa-H2O is 39.6 kJ mol-1. This work paves the way for regulating the self-assembly structures of amphiphiles through changing specific weak interactions.

Abstract
Responsive wormlike micelles are very useful in a number of applications, whereas it is still challenging to create dramatic viscosity changes in wormlike micellar systems. Here we developed a pH-responsive wormlike micellar system based on a noncovalent constructed surfactant, which is formed by the complexation of N-erucamidopropyl-N,N-dimethylamine (UC22AMPM) and citric acid at the molar ratio of 3 : 1 (EACA). The phase behavior, aggregate microstructure and viscoelasticity of EACA solutions were investigated by macroscopic appearance observation, rheological and cryo-TEM measurements. It was found that the phase behavior of EACA solutions undergoes transition from transparent viscoelastic fluids to opalescent solutions and then phase separation with white floaters upon increasing the pH. Upon increasing the pH from 2.03 to 6.17, the viscosity of wormlike micelles in the transparent solutions continuously increased and reached ∼683 000 mPa s at pH 6.17. As the pH was adjusted to 7.31, the opalescent solution shows a water-like flowing behaviour and the η0 rapidly declines to ∼1 mPa s. Thus, dramatic viscosity changes of about 6 magnitudes can be triggered by varying the pH values without any deterioration of the EACA system. This drastic variation in rheological behavior is attributed to the pH dependent interaction between UC22AMPM and citric acid. Furthermore, the dependence on concentration and temperature of the rheological behavior of EACA solutions was also studied to assist in obtaining the desired pH-responsive viscosity changes.

Abstract
A cationic surfactant with adamantane as the end group, 1-[11-((adamantane-1-carbonyl)oxy)-undecyl]pyridinium bromide (AP), has been synthesized. Its β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) induced hierarchical self-assembling behaviors in aqueous solution were investigated using transmission or scanning electron microscopy methods and small-angle X-ray scattering measurements. Like conventional single chain surfactants, micelles could be formed by AP itself in dilute solutions. However, the dramatic phase transitions of these micelles occurred when host-guest inclusions between AP and β-CD were sequentially produced at different host/guest molar ratios (R), corresponding to the supramolecules with different chemical structures. The AP micelles could be changed into spherical unilamellar vesicles by adding β-CD to reach an R value of 1 : 1. Such vesicles then evolved into multi-wall nanotubes or hydrogels when the β-CD amount was further increased to obtain an R value of 2 : 1. The unique structural characteristics of these supramolecular aggregates come from their "monolayer-like" walls, which have rarely been reported in the past for CD/surfactant inclusion complexes. The interesting results obtained here not only enrich the β-CD/surfactant aggregation systems, but also provide a novel and facile strategy to tune the morphology and structure of aggregates.

Abstract
Light-responsive wormlike micelles have important applications in fields such as microfluids, photoswichable fluids, and rheology control. However, single-component light-responsive wormlike micelles formed only from a single tail surfactant have not been reported in literature. In this work, self-assembly behavior of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium trans-ortho-methoxycinnamate [Cnmim][OMCA] (n = 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) ionic liquids in aqueous solutions is studied by UV-vis spectroscopy, viscosity, rheology, conductivity, and cryo-TEM measurements. It is found for the first time that, among the single tail ionic liquid surfactants studied, [C16mim][OMCA] can form wormlike micelles in aqueous solutions without any additives and light irradiation. Then these wormlike micelles are able to transform into cylindrical micelles under UV light irradiation, resulting in significantly tunable rheological properties of the solutions. The photoisomerization of anion of [C16mim][OMCA] from trans- to cis-isomer as well as the relative hydrophilicity and structural feature of the cis-isomer are suggested to be responsible for such transition.

Abstract
The hydroxyl group in the spacer of a cationic Gemini surfactant (12-3OH-12) caused dramatic changes of the phase behaviors in a protic ionic liquid (EAN). Here, the effects of the hydroxyl group on micellization and lyotropic liquid crystal formation were investigated through the surface tension, small-angle X-ray scattering, polarized optical microscopy, and rheological measurements. With the hydroxyl group in the spacer, the critical micellization concentration of 12-3OH-12 was found to be lower than that of the homologue without hydroxyl (12-3-12) and the 12-3OH-12 molecules packed more densely at the air/EAN interface. It was then interesting to observe a coexistence of two separated phases at wide concentration and temperature ranges in this 12-3OH-12/EAN system. Such a micellar phase separation was rarely observed in the ionic surfactant binary system. With the increase of surfactant concentration, the reverse hexagonal and bicontinuous cubic phases appeared in sequence, whereas only a reverse hexagonal phase was found in 12-3-12/EAN system. But, the hexagonal phases formed with 12-3OH-12 exhibited lower viscoelasticity and thermostability than those observed in 12-3-12/EAN system. Such unique changes in phase behaviors of 12-3OH-12 were ascribed to their enhanced solvophilic interactions of 12-3OH-12 and relatively weak solvophobic interactions in EAN.

Abstract
To understand the role of electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds in the formation of wormlike micelles with the aid of sodium salicylate, two quaternary ammonium surfactants with the headgroup decorated by one hydroxyethyl group N-cetyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)dimethylammonium bromide and two hydroxyethyl groups N-cetyl-N,N-di(2-hydroxyethyl)methylammonium bromide, abbreviated as CHEMAB and CDHAB, respectively, were synthesized in this work. Single crystal X-ray diffraction was used to study the intermolecular interactions of surfactants, and (1)H NMR and rheological measurements were employed to investigate the molecular arrangement and morphology of the wormlike micelles. The synergistic interactions of hydrogen bonding and more effective shielding of electrostatic repulsion contribute to the formation and viscoelastic behavior of wormlike micelles. The results also revealed the aggregation behavior of surfactants with hydroxyethyl headgroups in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The UV-light-stimulated self-assembly behavior of a surface active ionic liquid (SAIL), 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (C16mimBr), with an azobenzene derivative, sodium azobenzene 4-carboxylate (AzoCOONa), was investigated in aqueous solution. The properties and structures of the aggregates, formed at a concentration ratio equal to 2:1 ([C16mimBr]:[AzoCOONa]), were comprehensively characterized by rheometer and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. Initially, viscoelastic wormlike micelles with a viscosity of 0.65 Pa·s were constructed in the C16mimBr/AzoCOONa system. Upon irradiation by UV light (365 nm), particularly fascinating is that the wormlike micelles become much longer and more entangled, exhibiting a high viscosity of 6.9 Pa·s. This can be attributed to photoisomerization of the AzoCOONa molecule from trans to cis form. It is the first time that, with exposure to UV or visible light, the aggregate type of the photoresponsive system has remained unchanged, with only a change of internal property parameters. The cation-π interaction prevailing over the hydrophobic interaction and electrostatic interaction between C16mimBr and AzoCOONa molecules is supposed to be responsible for this peculiar phase behavior. The wormlike micelles constructed with the SAIL and photosensitive additive exhibit controllable viscoelastic behavior in the photoresponsive process. In addition, the average contour length of wormlike micelles was found to slightly decrease with the increase of temperature. We expect this system will receive particular attention due to its unique properties and potential applications in drug delivery, biochemistry, and materials science, etc.
