Fluorinated Surfactant
Fluorinated surfactants (abbreviated as FS) are surfactants with fluorocarbon chains as non-polar groups when the hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chain are partially or completely substituted with fluorine atoms. With high surface activity and high thermodynamic and chemical stability, fluorocarbon surfactants are used in fire control, chemicals, pesticides, mineral processing, papermaking, leather and textiles.
As fluorinated surfactants with the best overall effects, PFOS and PFOA are used in many fields. However, a large number of studies have shown that these two substances are one of the most difficult-to-degrade organic pollutants in the world, with long-lasting environmental stability and high bioaccumulation and mobility potentials. The United Nations has add them to the Listing of POPs list and prohibited or restricted their use.
From the perspective of current substitutes, it is imperative for us to step up the research and development of novel durable less-toxic or non-toxic substitutes that are non-polluting to the environment, harmless to the ecology, and safe to human health.
