PhD in Synthesis of Sustainable PFAS-Free Polymers for High-Performance Applications

Departments, Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry Introduction Fluorinated polymers and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used in high-performance applications because of their exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance and low surface energy. These properties make them essential in demanding applications, including automotive and aerospace components, sealing systems, and chemical processing equipment. However, growing environmental concerns and increasi…
