Soft materials made of polyethyleneimine (PEI), which combine low pH-stimulated higher-order assemblies (fibers and sheets) with light responsiveness, have been demonstrated. Interactions driven by excitation wavelength light enable the formation of bead-necklace-like structures in fibers or volume collapse of sheets. This work can have significant implications for gene transfection or encapsulation using PEI-based complexes.
