We have investigated the thermal behavior of binary mixtures comprising F(CF2)8(CH2)16H and fluorinated solvents. The solvents were perfluorohexane, perfluoroheptane,Keywords: Diblocks; Excess thermodynamic function; Fluorinated solvent(s); Interacting species; Interaction(s); Intermolecular interactions; n-Alkanes; Perfluoroalkyl-alkane(s); Perfluorodecalin; Perfluoroheptane; Perfluorooctyl bromide; Polarizabilities; Semifluor Fluorinated solvent(s); Fluorocarbon(s); Interaction(s); Perfluoroalkyl-alkane(s); Self-assembly; Semifluorinated alkane(s)Gels from a semifluorinated n-alkane in fluorinated solvents as a probe for intermolecular interactions200910.1016/j.jcis.2009.07.0372016-02-24
