Fluorous ethers, having one or more fluorous ponytails containing longer and shorter F(C x F 2x )-perfluoroalkyl substituent(s) where x ≥ 6 or x = 1-5, respectively, were reviewed including some of their basic properties, synthesis and selected applications in chemical processes.
Environmentally benign fluorous aerogels have been synthesized and electrospun on commercial PVDF membrane imparting superhydrophobicity and enabling the membrane undergo a stable, non-wetting 10-day DCMD operation with 0.1 mM SDS and 3.5% NaCl feed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
