(a) Chemical structure of azoTAB and wavelength-dependent photoinduced isomerisation events. (b) Optical microscopy image of hydrated trans-azoTAB:PAA microparticles mounted on a PEG-functionalized glass slide; inset shows particle highlighted by the arrow and viewed under polarized light; scale bars = 10 μm. (c) SAXS profile of hydrated trans-azoTAB:PAA showing low angle Bragg reflections corresponding to a hexagonally packed mesostructure of surfactant micelles interspaced with polymer chains and water molecules. Absence of the (10) peak is attributed to the hexagonal axis being parallel to the mica substrate. (d) Confocal fluorescence microscopy images of hydrated trans-azoTAB:PAA microparticles with sequestered (i) Nile Red (1 μM), (ii) HRP-RITC (50 nM) or (iii) Cy5-ssDNA (1 μM), scale bars = 10 μm.
