TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe recent studies and research effort concerning the liquid crystalline behavior of compounds incorporating a highly fluorinated part with more than one fluoromethylene units and examine some of their mesophase properties and the impact of molecular shape on the resulting liquid crystal behavior.

TL;DR: These materials have the appearance and the consistency of gels and are characterized in that they contain a very high proportion of water, of the order of from 60 to 98% weight, and that their structure is a microcellular compartmentalized structure having a high density of water droplets enclosed in a fine surfactant membrane and contained in a continuous oil/surfactant phase as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, phase transfer catalysis was used to solve the problems of F-alkyl-2 ethane iodides in homogeneous medium using phase transfer and obtained outstanding results.

TL;DR: In this article, the liquid crystalline polymorphism (SA, SB, CrE) and the structures of the phases of N-n-perfluoralkylethyl-(4-phenylbenzylidene)imines are described.

TL;DR: The synthesis of F -alkyl (alkoxy) and aroxysulfonyl carbamates and thiocarbamates result by addition of F-alkyl alcohols and thiols to alkoxy and isocyanates as discussed by the authors.
