Scientists make water-repellent breakthrough to replace toxic ‘forever chemicals’
Researchers from the University of Bristol (UK), Hirosaki University (Japan), and Université Côte d’Azur (France) have discovered that fluorine’s distinct “bulky” spatial characteristics, which help it occupy molecular space so effectively, can be mimicked using a non-toxic alternative. This breakthrough could pave the way for safer, environmentally friendly materials that perform similarly to traditional PFAS without the associated risks.
