Abstract: Use of a latex of perfluorinated polymers having particles with an average diameter between 5 and 200 nm for determining the binding constant of two interacting molecular species by Laser Light Scattering (LLS), said polymeric particles comprising on the surface an amphiphilic non ionic surfactant, the same or a different surfactant ended with a receptor and a ligand interacting with the receptor.

Abstract: Use of flat surfaces comprising perfluorinated polymers in the determination of the binding constant of two interacting molecular species by using measurements of reflected light intensity, said surface comprising at least one molecule with the receptor function adsorbed or immobilized on said surface, and at least one ligand which interacts with the receptor.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a heat transfer composition comprising: at least one fluorinated ether fluid free from functional groups (fluid (H)); from 0.01 to 5% wt with respect to fluid (H) of at least one solid nano-sized additive chosen among metal, metal oxide or carbonaceous material particles, having an average particle size of less than 2 000 nm (additive (N)); and from 0.1 to 10% wt with respect to fluid (H) of at least one functional (per)fluoropolyether comprising recurring units (R1), said recurring units comprising at least one ether linkage in the main chain and at least one fluorine atom (fluoropolyoxyalkene chain) and comprising at least one functional group (functional PFPE (F)).
