How are Fluorinated Compounds Synthesized and Integrated with Nanomaterials?
The synthesis of fluorinated compounds often involves chemical reactions such as fluorination and electrochemical fluorination. These methods introduce fluorine atoms into organic and inorganic compounds. Once synthesized, these fluorinated compounds can be integrated with nanomaterials through processes like surface modification and chemical vapor deposition. For example, fluorinated silanes can be used to coat nanoparticles, enhancing their hydrophobicity and chemical resistance.
