16. L). All samples were prepared such that the polymer-to-phospholipid ratio was held between 8 mol %. Hydration of the solid components in deionized water was accomplished by repeated cycles of heating (50°C), vortex mixing, and cooling on an ice bath until sample uniformity was achieved. 4-Nitro-4′-(dimethylamino)azobenzene (TCI America, Portland, OR) was introduced as a solid into the preformed complex fluid and dissolution promoted by cycling through the phase transition. Dye-doped poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA (MW 120 000, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), was prepared by dissolution of the polymer and chromophore at 2 wt % in toluene. Thin solid films were prepared by spin-coating the prefiltered solution onto clean glass substrates. After evaporation of the solvent at room temperature, the films were dried under vacuum to ensure removal of the casting solvent. Film thicknesses were between 0.5 and 1 μm thick as determined by measurement using a profilometer.

Measurements made on the complex fluids were carried out in a 3 mm square quartz cuvette employing a custom-built Peilter stage for temperature control (±1°C).
