Dynamic Surface Tension Behaviour in a Photoresponsive Surfactant System
We report on the surface properties of a photoresponsive surfactant that incorporates the light-sensitive azobenzene group into its tail. Cis-trans photo-isomerization of this group alters the ability of the surfactant to pack into adsorbed monolayers at an air-water interface or into aggregates in...
