| abstract |
The present invention provides a composition comprising a new photofunctional azobenzene compound prepared simply and in high yield through the synthesis of an epoxide-containing azobenzene compound and (C1-C18)alkyl glycidyl ether aminosulfonic acid sodium salt. Compositions containing the novel photofunctional azobenzene compound are characterized by low surface tension, high foaming force, excellent emulsion stability, and controllable surfactant, and thus can be usefully used for detergents, cosmetics, etching and sensors. |
