Ag2S nanocrystals with a mean diameter of 5.9 nm (sigma= 1.65 nm) and characteristic surface plasmon resonance absorption at 330 nm have been synthesized in water-in-supercritical CO2 reverse microemulsion using the commonly used AOT surfactant with 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-1-pentanol (F-pentanol) as cosurfactant.

Silver and silver iodide nanocrystals have been synthesized in the water-in-CO(2) reverse microemulsions formed by the commonly used surfactant, sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT), in the presence of 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-1-pentanol as cosurfactant. The nanometer-sized aqueous domains in the microemulsion cores not only act

Biomaterial-associated microbial infection and thrombosis represent major issues to the success of long-term use of implantable blood-contacting medical devices. The development of new poly[bis(octafluoropentoxy) phosphazene (OFP) biomaterials provides new routes for combatting microbial infection and thrombosis. However, the limited mechanical
