Perfluorinated hydrocarbons (PFC) are used in surfactants, insecticides, aqueous fire-fighting foams, non-stick coatings, and spill repelling textiles. They are also persistent pollutants that are ubiquitous in the environment, have been found globally, polluting areas far from the original contamination source, and bioaccummulate. While no regulations governing PFC remediation are in place, they are expected in the near future. Unfortunately, the chemical structure and properties of PFCs that make them attractive for their many applications also introduce significant challenges related to their remediation. As such, developing new, innovative and effective remediation strategies is of paramount importance. The Veinot Research Team specializes in, and have demonstrated that, silicon-based materials have diverse and tailorable reactivity. The scientific literature suggests these same silicon systems may offer a convenient approach to PFC remediation. This project combines the material development expertise of the Veinot Research Team and analytical development skills of Paracel Labs to establish a material and methodology to address environmental PFC contamination.

全氟烃（PFC）用于表面活性剂、杀虫剂、水性消防泡沫、不粘涂料和防溢纺织品。它们也是持久性污染物，在环境中无处不在，在全球范围内都有发现，污染远离原始污染源的地区，并具有生物蓄积性。虽然目前还没有管理PFC补救措施的法规，但预计在不久的将来会出台。不幸的是，pfc的化学结构和性质使其在许多应用中具有吸引力，但也带来了与其修复相关的重大挑战。因此，制定新的、创新的和有效的补救策略是至关重要的。Veinot研究团队专门研究并证明了硅基材料具有多样化和可定制的反应性。科学文献表明，这些相同的硅系统可能为PFC修复提供了一种方便的方法。该项目结合了Veinot研究团队的材料开发专业知识和Paracel实验室的分析开发技能，建立了解决环境PFC污染的材料和方法。
