On the Perluorocarbon Enulsions of Second Generation

Abstract

Perfluorocarbon-emulsions of second generation were prepared by means of new pertluorocarbons (F-dimorpholines, F-dipiperidines and F-cyclohexylmorpholine), acting both as oxygen carriers and as interfacial active compounds (IFACs). The stabilizing effect of these IFACs is interpreted and a new theory is introduced. Also new classes of fluorosurfactants were synthesized and tested for biocompatibility. In PFC mixtures compounds of the type R_FR_H (R_F=C_mF₂m+1, R_H=C_nH_2n+1) are acting as IFACs but also as anchor-groups for lipophilic surfactants.
