The semifluorinated molecular diblock compounds considered here consist primarily of
covalent assemblages of a linear perfluoroalkyl chain (F-chain, CnF2n+ 1) and a linear …

Self‐assembly of cyclic bis‐urea compounds takes place even at low concentrations to form
very thin fibers which give a three‐dimensional network in the solvent. The X‐ray structure …

Polyurethanes, containing well-defined assemblies of perfluoro-polyether (PFPE or
hexafluoropropene oxide oligomer), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and polyethylene glycol …

In a series of publications from our laboratory we have reported on the self-assembly of
tapered building blocks containing various endo-receptorssuch as crown ethers, oligo …

The surface tensions of dilute dodecane solutions of several semifluorinated alkanes have
been measured at room temperature. Decrements of up to 4 mN/m have been observed …

Highly soluble amphiphilic materials are shown to form aggregates insupercritical CO2. The
strategy for synthesis of these amphiphilic molecules involves incorporating CfVphilic …

This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of AB block copolymers based on ω-
[(4-cyano-4′-biphenyl) oxy] alkyl vinyl ether (6-n), with alkyl being ethyl (6-2), propyl (6-3) …

The melting and crystallization behavior of (perfluorododecyl) eicosane, F (CF2) i2 (CH2)
2oH, has been investigated by DSC, MAS 13C NMR, and electron microscopic studies. A …

The phase behavior, adsorption, and aggregation of semifluorinated alkanes (SFAs) of
general structure F (CF2) n (CH2) m H (abbreviated to F n H m) in hydrocarbon and …

A 'gel'has been observed in mixtures of dense carbon dioxide and semifluorinated alkanes.
This gelation occurred when a liquid-vapor binary solution was isothermally expanded at …
