Abstract: Presently described is a composition comprising at least one first divalent unit comprising a pendant perfluoropolyether or perfluoroalkyl group; at least one second divalent unit comprising a pendant phosphorus-containing acid group; and at least one third unit comprising a terminal or pendant alkoxy silane group. Also described is a coating comprising the composition described herein dissolved or dispersed in a solvent and a method of providing a coated article or surface. Such method is particularly useful for providing corrosion protection to a metallic surface.

Abstract: A method of preserving a biological tissue specimen comprising at least one of fixing or dehydrating a specimen, and substantially completely immersing the specimen in a preserving fluid comprising one or more fluorinated hydrocarbons. Also, a biological tissue specimen immersed in a preserving fluid comprising one or more fluorinated hydrocarbon fluids.

Abstract: A thermal transfer means comprising a flexible bag or pouch filled with a chemically inert, electrically nonconductive, nonflammable, essentially gas-free, thermally stable, thermally conductive, body of liquid comprising fluorochemical liquid. Said bag is fabricated from a flexible, durable plastic film that has low permeability to air and the fluorochemical liquid. The configuration of the bag is conformable to adapt to the geometry of the space, formed between the surface of a heat generating component or components and the surface of a heat sink, into which the bag is inserted, thereby contacting said surfaces and providing a thermal conduction path for heat generated by the heat generating component during operation from said component to the heat sink. The liquid has a boiling point such that it down not boil at the highest operating temperature of the device. Also provided is a method for making and filling the bag such that after sealing the bag is substantially gas free.
