From: Light-activated photodeformable supramolecular dissipative self-assemblies

Light-activation process for dissipative self-assembly (initial two steps), and reversibly photodeformable dissipative self-assembly under light irradiation/thermal relaxation cycles (following steps in the loop). The schematic and chemical structures of SMC, SP, and PEI are shown in the dashed box.
