Binding of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at interfaces
The presence of perfluoralkyl substances (PFAS) in the environment is of on-going major concern and attracting considerable public attention as risks to health. These are known as `forever¿ pollutants as breakdown is difficult although some routes to this process are now being developed. Knowledge of the interaction of these materials with relevant materials is an essential step to understanding the transport and eventual location of PFASs in the environment as well as their eventual remediation. To complement other work that has investigated various mineral surfaces and lipid layers, the present study will investigate binding to a protein layer. The protein chosen has been proposed as a binding agent for `filter¿ materials. Results of neutron reflection measurements giving quantitative information about amounts of materials in layers and structure will guide further work both at a fundamental level to understand mediation of interactions and in practical development of treatment processes.
