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

This overview covers recent literature on fluorinated amphiphiles and self-assemblies of
biomedical interest. It includes 1)“standard” perfluoroalkylated surfactants, 2)(perfluoroalkyl) …

X-ray scattering is a well-established technique in materials science. Several excellent
textbooks exist in this field, but these texts are typically written by physicists who use …

Fully atomistic molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations of perfluoroalkylalkane molecules at
the surface of water show the spontaneous formation of aggregates whose size and …

After a brief reminder of the specific properties of fluorocarbons, fluorinated chains and
molecular fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon diblocks (semifluorinated alkanes, C n F2 n+ 1C m H2 …

For years, researchers had presumed that Langmuir monolayers of small C n F2 n+ 1C m
H2 m+ 1 (FnHm) diblock molecules (such as F 8 H 16) consisted of continuous, featureless …

Semifluorinated alkanes (SFAs) are diblock molecules, in which two mutually immiscible
moieties, namely the hydrocarbon segment and the perfluorinated segment are bound …

We demonstrate that single-pass Kelvin force microscopy (KFM) and capacitance gradient
(dC/dZ) measurements with force gradient detection of tip–sample electrostatic interactions …

Septithiophene with endgroups designed to form liquid crystalline phases and allows
controlled deposition of an electrically connected monolayer. Field effect mobilies mobilities …

Mixed monolayer films comprising hydrogenated and fluorinated surfactants can undergo
phase separation to produce interfaces with diverse structures at the micrometer and …
