We investigated the relationship between the self-assembled morphol. of poly(tert-Bu acrylate)-block-poly(6-[4-(4′-methoxyphenylazo)phenoxy]hexyl methacrylate) (PtBA-b-PAzoMA) block copolymers and their photoresponsive and fluorescence behaviors. The morphol. of PtBA-b-PAzoMA copolymers was manipulated by dissolving them in mixed DMF (DMF)/hexanol solvents. When PtBA-b-PAzoMA was dissolved in DMF-rich (neutral) solvents, a favorable interaction between the DMF mols. and both blocks resulted in a random-coiled conformation. The unconfined morphol. facilitated the formation of both nonassocd. and head-to-head organized azobenzene mesogens, which promoted fluorescence emission. When hexanol, a PtBA-selective solvent, was added to DMF, the solvency of PtBA-b-PAzoMA worsened, leading to its assembly into micelles, with PAzoMA in the micelle core. The confinement of azobenzene moieties in the micelle core hindered their trans-to-cis photoisomerization, thereby considerably decreasing the kinetics of photoisomerization and the population of cis isomers. Addnl., a nanoconfined geometry resulted in compactly packed chromophores, causing fluorescence loss. When PtBA-b-PAzoMA was exposed to UV light, the increased number of cis isomers hampered the closely packed mesogens, resulting in a substantial enhancement of fluorescence emission. When the mole fraction of the PAzoMA block was increased, PtBA-b-PAzoMA formed clusters, causing the slow kinetics of photoisomerization and fluorescence quenching.
