A UV–Vis scanning spectrophotometer (Shimadzu-2600, Osaka, Japan) was used to record the UV–Vis spectra of MAA. The photoisomerization of the MAA was investigated by first irradiating with 365 nm light and then with 440 nm light. The photoisomerization kinetics was analyzed by the following equation:

where A0, At, and A are the absorbance of the azobenzene chromophores at their correspondence wavelengths at time 0, t, and at the photostationary stage, respectively; k is the rate constant of the photoisomerization process.
