Abstract

The polysilsesquioxanes containing tetra(ethylene glycol) chains were newly prepared and modified by several kinds of hydrophobic components. The obtained polysilsequioxane derivatives showed a reversible thermoresponsive aggregation behavior in an aqueous solution. The introduction of azobenzene structure as the hydrophobic component led to the polysilsesquixane that showed the combined photo- and thermostimuli responsive properties.
