Highly ordered Li dispersed nickel oxide nanotubes were prepared with anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template for hydrogen storage. Electron microscope results showed that uniform length and diameter of nickel oxide nanotubes were obtained. The wall thickness and outer diameter of nickel oxide nanotubes are about 40 - 50 nm and 200 - 400 nm, respectively. It was observed that the diameter of nickel oxide nanotubes is bigger than the pore diameter of AAO template. Li dispersed nickel oxide were consisted of nanoflakes and had structures of nanotubes and nanorods. For increasing the hydrogen adsorption and desorption capacity, the Li dispersed nickel oxide nanotubes were fluorinated. The fluorinated Li dispersed nickel oxide nanotubes showed 1.65 wt% of the hydrogen adsorption capacities at 77 K under 47 atm.

We investigated about the utilization improvement of the PDMS and fluoropolymers by mutual application in environmental analysis. We were conducted the direct fluorination with mild condition on the PDMS films and analyzed its surfaces before and after fluorination. The results of FTIR and SEM analysis on the PDMS films showed that the film surfaces were fluorinated without irreversible deformation by the fluorination. During the fluorination, the measured contact angles of water and several alcohols on the PDMS films decreased with time and that of most alcohols decreased to 0 after 30 minutes. The surface energy of fluorinated PDMS films has increased by 2 times. Also, we investigated the influence factors on the change of permeation rate of water through PDMS tubes with time. It was observed that the change of permeation rate of water through PDMS tube was affected by temperature, water phase and spatial distribution of water. From these results, we could verify the principal causes of the decrease of permeation rate of water through PDMS tube with time and proposed a new experimental setup for reducing the variation of permeation rate of water less than 2%.

Polymer electrostrictor materials can exhibit high electroactive strain and hold increasing promise for a variety of actuator applications. The size of available actuators has been limited, however, by the solution-based casting and annealing process generally required to prepare electrostrictor actuator materials. We report on a high throughput melt and stretch extrusion process capable of creating large sheets of an electrostructive terpolymer, poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-1, 1-chlorofluoroethlene) while producing a suitable crystallinity and crystal phase for high strain electrostrictor performance such as artificial muscle systems.

Fluorinated amorphous carbon thin films (a-C:F) for the use of low dielectric constant intermetallic layer dielectrics are deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition with $C_4$F$_{8}$ and Si$_2$H$_{6}$/He gas mixture as precursors. To characterize and improve film properties, we changed various conditions such as deposition temperature, and RF power, and we measured the thickness and refractive indexes and FT-IR spectrum before and after annealing. At low temperatures the film properties were very poor although the growth rate was very high. On the other hand, the growth rate was low at high temperature. The growth rate increased in accordance with the deposition pressure. The dielectric constants of samples were in the range of 1.5∼5.5∼5.

Fluoroalkyl methacrylate and acrylic acid were bulk radical copolymerized in the presence of pure sodium montmorillonite or macromer intercalated sodium montmorilonite to get a fluorinated acrylic ionomer/sodium montmorillonite composite, and their physical properties, such as X-ray diffraction pattern, tensile properties, and water uptake, were examined. These composites were used to preparean ionic acrylic polymer-platinum composite (IPMC). The current and deformation responses of these IPMCs by external voltage applied across the platinum electrodes deposited on both sides of IPMC showed that the cation migration from anode to cathode was suppressed in the presence of sodium montmorillonite, causing reduced current and deformation.

The fluorinated amorphous carbon thin films (a-C:F) were deposited by PECVD(plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition). The precursors were $C_{4}F_{8}$ which had a similar ratio of target film's carbon to fluorine ratio, and $Si_{2}H_{6}$/He for capturing excessive fluorine ion. We varied deposition condition of temperature and working pressure to survey the effect of each changes. We measured dielectric constant, composition, and etc. At low temperature the film adhesion to substrate was very poor although the growth rate was very high, the growth rate was very low at high temperature. The EDS(energy dispersive spectroscopy) result showed carbon and fluorine peak for films and Si peak for substrate. There was no oxygen peak.

The reaction of potassium fluoride with amyl iodide in presence of dimethylformamide at low temperature gave a fluorination product together with decane. Polyhalogenated acid such as ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$,-dichloro-${\beta}$-phenyl-propionic acid gave ${\alpha}$-chlorostyrene, fluorinated styrene, and fluorinated acid. The same reaction with the ethyl ester did not give the fluorination product and gave a mixture of various dimerized product. Dibromostyrene gave bromostyrene together with fluorination product. Iodo acid such as m-iodo acid gave the salt and a trace quantity of dimerized product. Iodides such as m-iodotoluene and 1-amino-4-iodo-2-methyl benzene did not show any appreciable reactivity towards potassim fluoride. The reaction condition was described, and fluorination, ${\alpa}$-dehydrofluorination, decarboxylation, and dimerization were discussed.

We fabricated organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based a fluorinated copper phthalocyanine ($F_{16}CuPC$) and copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) as an active layer. And we observed the surface morphology of the $F_{16}CuPC$ thin film. The $F_{16}CuPC$ thin film thickness was 40 nm, and the channel length was $50{\mu}m$, channel width was 3 mm. And we also fabricated the $F_{16}CuPc/CuPc$ double layer FET and with different $F_{16}CuPc$ film thickness devices. We observed the typical current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and capacitance-voltage (C-V) in $F_{16}CuPc$ FET and we calculated the effective mobility. From the double layer FET devices, we observed the higher drain current more than single layer FET devices.

Solvolyses of isobutyl chloroformate (4) in 43 binary solvent mixtures including highly aqueous media, water, $D_2O$, $CH_3OD$, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) as well as aqueous 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-isopropanol (HFIP) solvents were performed at $45^{\circ}C$, in order to further investigate the recent results of D'Souza, M. $J^1$. et al.; solvolyses of 4 are found to be consistent with the proposed mechanism ($Ad_E$). The variety of solvent systems was extended to comprise highly ionizing power solvent media ($Y_{Cl}$ > 2.7 excepted for aqueous fluorinated solvents and pure TFE solvent) to investigate whether a mechanistic change occurs as solvent compositions are varied. However, in case of 18-solvent ranges having aqueous fluorinated solvent systems (TFE-$H_2O$ and HFIP-$H_2O$) and/or having $Y_{Cl}$ > 2.7 solvent systems, the solvent effect on reactivity for those of 4 are evaluated by the multiple regression analysis as competition with $S_N2$ - type mechanism. And in pure TFE and 97 w/w % HFIP solvents with high $Y_{Cl}$ and weak $N_T$, these solvolyses are understood as reactions which proceed through an ionization ($S_N1$) pathway.

Carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds have been found ubiquitously in pharmaceuticals, radiopharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and material science due to their unique properties such as thermal and oxidative stability and lipophilicity to improve bioavailability. For the past five years, there have been significant advances in F-18 fluorination of aromatic complex molecules combined with the development of late-stage fluorination reactions. More recently, direct incorporation of F-18 to fluorinated aromatic molecules via borylation of C-F bonds has been developed by Niwa and Hosoya. In this minireview, we will discuss the progress of C-F bondborylation of fluorinated arenes utilizing transition metal catalysts and the impact on the development of F-18 radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET).
