β¦ Synopsis
A phase III clinical study of a perfluorooctyl bromide emulsion demonstrated reduction and avoidance of donor blood transfusion in surgery. Novel fluorocarbon-in-water emulsions are being investigated, including emulsions highly stabilized by fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon diblocks and targeted emulsions for molecular imaging, diagnosis and drug delivery. Reverse water-influorocarbon emulsions and microemulsions that have potential for pulmonary drug delivery are also being studied. Microemulsions with highly fluorinated components are being actively investigated, with applications in polymerization technology and as research tools.

The Winsor type phase behavior of hydrofluoroethers (HFEs) has been evaluated using several fluorocarbon/hydrocarbon catanionic surfactants. It was found that these systems could be rendered temperature insensitive by changing the identity of the ions. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.
## Abstract The microemulsion (M.E.) and conventional emulsion (C.E.) copolymerizations of styrene (STY) with methyl methacrylate (MMA) are carried out at 70Β°C by employing __n__βpentanol (PA) and __n__βoctanol (OA), respectively, as cosurfactants along with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), as surfacta
