Recent advances in perfluorinated ionomer membranes : structure, properties and applications
TL;DR: A survey of the studies made in recent years on perfluorinated membranes, structure properties and applications can be found in this paper, where the properties and structure of these membranes were mainly studied by SAXS, SANS, NMR, ESR conductance and IR spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid to solidlike transitions of molecularly thin films under shear
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the shear forces between two molecularly smooth solid surfaces separated by thin films of various organic liquids and investigated the transition from continuum to molecular behavior in very thin films.
