Abstract:
Fluorophilic ionic liquids (ILs) showing enhanced compatibility with poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) have been newly synthesised. The as-designed ILs contributed both to the dissolution of PTFE oligomers and to the preparation of composites with PTFE with no fear of bleed-out of the ILs.

Intermolecular Forces in Solutions
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...
