Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used but can have harmful effects on the human body. Activated carbon has been used to remove PFAS from water; however, vesicles consisting of amphiphiles are adsorbent candidates. Optimization of PFAS adsorption using vesicles has not yet been achieved. We analyzed the chain-length dependence of perfluorocarboxylic acid (PFCA) adsorption on vesicles composed of amphiphiles with two bent hydrophobic chains containing cis-double bonds to reveal the interaction between vesicles and PFCA.
