title: Photoresponsive amphiphiles based on azobenzene-dendritic glycerol conjugates show switchable transport behavior.
abstract: The synthesis and aggregation behavior of photo-switchable, nonionic dendritic amphiphiles was investigated with regard to transport and release of guest molecules. The correlation between the critical micelle concentration and the switching ability is shown.
