FLUORINATED ETHER COMPOUNDS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

摘要

Compounds represented by formula (Rf-Q-X)s-Z. Each Rf is independently a partially fluorinated or fully fluorinated group selected from Rfa-(O)r-CHF-(CF2)n-; [Rfb-(O)t-C(L)H-CF2-O]m-W-; CF3CFH-O-(CF2)p-; CF3-(O-CF2)z-; and CF3-O-(CF2)3-O-CF2-. Methods of reducing surface tension of a liquid, making foams, and treating a surface using the compounds are also disclosed.
