N2 - In this paper, we propose a novel concept of photoresponsive liquid and demonstrate its applications. The photoresponsive liquid is defined as liquid whose surface tension is controlled by light irradiation. By utilizing the photoresponsive liquid, various applications, such as photoresponsive liquid lens and light-driven pump, are expected. In order to realize the concept, we have synthesized new photo-degradative surfactants (PDS) and confirmed their photo-degradability and interfacial tension change during light irradiation. Then, we successfully demonstrated the concepts of photoresponsive liquid in its application to photoresponsive lens.
