Interfaces that can change their chemistry on demand have huge potential for applications and are prerequisites for responsive or adaptive materials. We report on the performance of a newly designed <i>n</i>-butyl-arylazopyrazole butyl sulfonate (butyl-AAP-C<sub>4</sub>S) surfactant that can change its structure at the air-water interface by <i>E</i>/<i>Z</i> photo-isomerization in an unprecedented way. Large and reversible changes in surface tension (Δ<i>γ</i> = 27 mN m<sup>-1</sup>) and surfac ...[more]
