“…In recent years we have accomplished a systematic experimental, computational, and theoretical study on the thermophysical properties of liquid PFAA, either pure or mixed with alkanes, perfluoroalkanes, and water. We have reported a number of properties of pure liquid PFAA [liquid density (45,46), vapor pressure (43), viscosity (47), and surface tension (48)] and their mixtures [partial molar volume at infinite dilution (49,50), solubility of water, and interfacial tension (44)] as a function of temperature, pressure, and relative length of the hydrogenated and fluorinated segments. These results were crucial for developing, parameterizing, and testing molecular models and force fields to be used in computer simulations and molecularbased theoretical calculations.…”
