- Additional information
- This paper reports light-induced conformational changes in supramolecular polymers leading to both random and organised structures that are reversibly accessed through photoisomerisation. This was an international collaboration between Chiba University, the Photon Factory (Japan) and Keele. Analysis of small-angle X-ray scattering data was instrumental in characterising the nanostructures and the novel analysis methods developed and used have subsequently informed future papers and have been presented at invited international presentations.
