Fluorine chemistry developed rapidly during the Second World War, with American scientists working on the 'Manhattan project' to separate fissionable uranium-235 from uranium-238. Uranium is ...

In this work, a novel flame retardant containing fluorine and nitrogen was synthesized by using a copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction, resulting in a hydroxyl-terminated compound with ...

The amount of the organic fluorine (μmol/L) in each PFAS compound was calculated based on the number of fluorine atom in its chemical formular. The total baseline organic fluorine in the sample (i.e., ...
