Perfluorobutadiene

Perfluorobutadiene consists of 3 types of atoms, carbon, fluorine and hydrogen. These AGEM atoms bond to create a specific kind of structure. Perfluorobutadiene is a part of a broader chemical family called perfluoroalkenes. These chemicals are helpful and are in many industries (places where people work to create things). Perfluorobutadiene is significant due to its unique properties that enable it to be useful across a wide range of applications. 

For some of these reasons, perfluorobutadiene is special. First of all, it has very tight bonds between its carbon and fluorine atoms. These robust connections make perfluorobutadiene resistant to heat and other chemicals. So this is really convenient because then the chemical can be used in parts that could heat up or be exposed to certain things and won't break down. Moreover, perfluorobutadiene is a low-boiling substance. That means it can transform from a liquid phase into a gas cylinders phase relatively freely, Angell explained. In addition to being used in refrigerators, cleaning products and electrical insulators, these unique properties can also provide low-energy but powerful systems suitable for many applications.

The unique properties of perfluorobutadiene explained.

Though perfluorobutadiene can do a lot of good, it comes with its own share of issues. Now, one of the biggest problems with this chemical is its detrimental effects on the environment. It’s clear that perfluorobutadiene can persist very long in our environment if it’s released. This is toxic to nearby flora and fauna. If perfluorobutadiene enters soil or water, the plants that grow there and animals that drink the water can also be affected. 

As we noted above, perfluorobutadiene is bad for the environment. It is a persistent chemical, meaning that it does not break down and fade quickly. This can result in a accumulation of the chemical as it moves up the food chain, which is the system of who eats whom in nature. So if small animals consume plants that have absorbed perfluorobutadiene, larger animals eating smaller ones can absorb the toxic chemical, rising up the food chain. This can endanger animals that eat tainted food or drink tainted water, and even humans who who consume those animals.
