Polyfluorované
Polyfluorované is a term that refers to chemical compounds containing multiple fluorine atoms bonded to a carbon backbone. These substances are often synthetic and are characterized by the strong carbon-fluorine bonds, which impart unique properties such as high thermal stability, chemical inertness, and low surface energy. The presence of many fluorine atoms can significantly alter the physical and chemical behavior of the parent organic molecule.
The most well-known class of polyfluorované compounds are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS.
However, the very stability that makes polyfluorované compounds useful also presents environmental challenges. Their persistence in
