Amphiphilic diarylethene with tri(ethylene glycol) chains as a hydrophilic moiety and octylcarbamoyl chain as a hydrophobic moiety formed a supramolecular assembly by hydrophobic interactions in water. The closed-ring isomer formed bunched vesicles made of strongly curled bilayers. When methylcellulose was added to the suspension, sheets with a width of several hundred micrometers were mainly obtained by depletion force. The obtained sheets retained photoinduced shrinking character.

两亲性二芳基乙烯的片状超分子组装显示由耗尽力形成的光致转化

具有作为亲水部分的三（乙二醇）链和作为疏水部分的辛基氨基甲酰基链的两亲性二芳基乙烯通过在水中的疏水相互作用形成了超分子组装体。闭环异构体形成由强烈卷曲的双层制成的成束囊泡。在悬浮液中加入甲基纤维素时，主要通过耗竭力获得宽度为几百微米的片材。所得片材保留了光致收缩特性。
