Perfluorosulfonic acids (PFSAs) are chemical compounds of the formula C n F (2n+1) SO 3 H and thus belong to the family of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds (PFASs). The simplest example of a perfluorosulfonic acid is the trifluoromethanesulfonic acid .
It is commonly referred to as the main harmful PFAS chemical and PFOA is responsible for many of the negative health effects commonly associated with PFAS. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a group of synthetic organofluorine chemical compounds that have multiple fluorine atoms attached to an alkyl chain. Different organizations use ...
Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) (conjugate base perfluorooctanesulfonate) is a chemical compound having an eight-carbon fluorocarbon chain and a sulfonic acid functional group, and thus it is a perfluorosulfonic acid and a perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS). It is an anthropogenic (man-made) fluorosurfactant, now regarded as a global pollutant.
Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) is a PFAS chemical compound having a four-carbon fluorocarbon chain and a sulfonic acid functional group. It is stable and unreactive because of the strength of carbon–fluorine bonds. It can occur in the form of a colorless liquid or a corrosive solid. [1]
Simply Orange Juice is accused of deceiving health-conscious customers into believing one of its juices is “all natural” as labeled — but it’s not, a class-action lawsuit says.
Perfluorooctanesulfonamide (PFOSA) is a synthetic organofluorine compound.It is a fluorocarbon derivative and a perfluorinated compound, having an eight-carbon chain and a terminal sulfonamide functional group.
One of the most common and commercially available PEM materials is the fluoropolymer (PFSA) [2] Nafion, a DuPont product. [3] While Nafion is an ionomer with a perfluorinated backbone like Teflon, [4] there are many other structural motifs used to make ionomers for proton-exchange membranes. Many use polyaromatic polymers, while others use ...
The PTFE backbone interlaced with the ionic sulfonate groups gives Nafion a high chemical stability temperature (e.g. 190 °C) but a softening point in the range of 85-100 °C give it a moderate operating temperature, e.g. up to 100 °C, with additional challenges in all applications due to the loss of water above 100 °C.
