Employing photodestructible surfactants in gelatin-based aqueous gels presents novel possibilities for controlling colloidal and aggregation properties of surfactant gelatin complexes. Light-triggered breakdown of the gelatin-bound photosurfactant aggregates causes dramatic changes in viscosity and aggregation.

CO2-Enhanced Bola-Type Supramolecular Amphiphile Constructed from Pillar[5]arene-Based Host-Guest Recognition.
TLDR
A CO2-enhanced bola-type supramolecular amphiphile was constructed from a water-soluble pillar[5]arene and aCO2-responsive bola -amphiphile and its application in controlled release was investigated.
Cross-linked Porous Gelatin Microparticles with Tunable Shape, Size, and Porosity.
TLDR
The cross-linking extends the stability in water from a few minutes up to several days while the swelling ability and the mesh size at the nanoscale of the gelatin network are preserved.

Self-Assembled Photoresponsive and Thermoresponsive Fluids with Tunable Rheology
Fluids whose rheological properties can be tuned by light or heat (termed as photorheological (PR) or thermorheological (TR) fluids, respectively) have attracted a lot of attention as they can be…
Changes in self-assemblies induced by temperature, concentration and light.
TLDR
In this review, changes in aggregation induced by thermodynamic parameters, namely concentration and temperature are discussed and several examples of light-induced aggregation changes are included, demonstrating the usefulness of this approach.
