Abstract

Fusion and fission of azobenzene-containing vesicles doped with Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MN) were induced by irradiation of NIR light. Detailed study shows that photoisomerization of azobenzene units would make the fission process easier, although both behaviours of the vesicles can be solely caused by the photothermal effect of the nanoparticles.
