Understanding x-ray-induced isomerisation in photoswitchable surfactant assemblies

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors investigate the effect of and X-ray irradiation on micelles formed from two different PS containing either an Azo or AAP photoswitch using SAXS with in-situ irradiation. To address this, here the authors investigate the effects of light- and X-ray irradiation on PS assemblies to further understand the parameters which influence X-ray-induced Z-E isomerisation. With comparison to the rate of Z-E isomerisation on addition of acid to the PS systems, the authors show that factors beyond the production of protons (H+) upon X-ray radiolysis of water may . . .
