Amine‐type surfactants containing fluorocarbon hydrophobes were synthesized and used to study their adsorption at water/air interfaces. They exhibit a high surface activity and decrease both effectively and efficiently the surface tension of their aqueous solutions. They are able to decrease the surface tension to about 20 mN m −1 .
