    Area of Science:

    • Organic Chemistry
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Chemical Engineering

    Background:

    • Artificial blood substitutes require efficient gas transport, biological inertness, low vapor pressure, and dispersibility.
    • Fluorocarbons, specifically perfluorinated compounds, exhibit superior oxygen and carbon dioxide solubility compared to other liquids.
    • Complete fluorination is crucial for achieving biological inertness in halogenated alkanes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore custom synthesis methods for fluorocarbons.
    • To evaluate fluorocarbons as potential artificial blood substitutes.
    • To detail the properties and synthesis of inert perfluorinated compounds.

    Main Methods:

    • Discussion of electrofluorination as a primary synthesis technique.
