Photofoams : remote control of foam destabilization by exposure to light using an azobenzene surfactant

We report evidence for photocontrolled stability and breakage of aqueous foams made from solutions of a cationic azobenzene-containing surfactant over a wide range of concentrations. Exposure to UV or visible lights results in shape and polarity switches in the surfactant molecule, which in turn aff...
