New technologies are changing our daily lives. New green energy, means
of communication, computers, modern medicine and prosthetics, automo-
tive, and aerospace industries—all have been invented and created by man
to ensure that as our lives undergo changes, we experience better outcomes.
But, new products for a better life require novel materials in addition to
further needing new design and technology solutions. The importance of
the fact that materials fundamentally change the life of mankind is reflected
in the names of the eras. After all, anyone remembers that the Stone Age,
Bronze Age, Iron Age and so on, have been distinguished periods in history.
What age is it now? Without doubt, we are ready to answer that now
there is an era of polymers. It is difficult to imagine a modern world with-
out plastics, rubber, and composites. After all, these materials have been used
to make almost everything surrounding us.
Among many classes of macromolecules, fluoropolymers play a particular
and essential role. Such a class of specialty polymers is endowed with remark-
able properties, such as a wide temperature range of service, biological and
chemical inertnesses, excellent mechanical and optical properties, good ionic
or proton conductivity, piezoelectric characteristics, and shape memory ef-
fect. All this leads to the fact that fluoropolymers are indeed indispensable in
many high-tech areas. They are used to make parts for aerospace and auto-
motive industries, as well as membranes for fuel cells. They are involved in
gas separation, water filtration, actuators and sensor devices, components of
lithium-ion batteries, coatings for optical fibers, surfaces of household appli-
ances and cookware, as well as clothing and fabrics, building structures, and
many more applications.
Years have long passed when only polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE, has
encompassed fluoropolymers. Now, in these polymer material classes, tens of
species and thousands of brands of materials with their own specificity have
been available. But at the same time, they all have a common feature—the
presence of fluorine atoms in the molecule. These atoms and their strong
and short covalent bonds to carbon have supplied these materials with all
their unique characteristics.
Two books from the “Fluoropolymers” series are offered to you:
BOOK 1: Opportunities of Fluoropolymers: Synthesis, Characteriza-
tions, Processing, Simulation, and Recycling
BOOK 2: Fascinating Fluoropolymers and their Applications
xvii
xviii Preface
The first book is devoted to processes and key strategies to obtain and
study various characteristics of fluoropolymers and simulation, as well as
highlighting their processing and recycling.
The chapters of this book deal with the synthesis and determination
of properties of various classes of fluoropolymers, such as PTFE, fluori-
nated aromatic perfluorocyclobutanes, polyvinylidene fluoride, and others,
including composites. Tackling the kinetics of radical polymerization and
controlling the molar masses and dispersities of synthesized polymers are
also considered. A chapter reports the success of the use of fluoro-substituted
compounds as initiators and controlling agents in various types of con-
trolled radical polymerization (RDRP). In addition, other chapters inform
about special polymerization processes such as a photoinitiated one and
chemical vapor deposition polymerization in a vacuum chamber. Attention
is paid to the modification of fluoropolymers (especially PTFE) by radiation
whereas the use of fluoroalkanoyl peroxides to control the structure of ter-
minal groups is also considered to induce lipophilic and superhydrophobic
properties of fluoropolymers. The production and processes of fluoropoly-
mers for membrane separation of water/oil suspensions and fluoropolymers
with shape memory, as well as the modeling of the molecular structure of
fluoropolymers (especially PVDF) for efficient production of their char-
acteristics, are also discussed. One of the chapters is devoted to a detailed
overview of technological approaches for processing fluoropolymers into
specific items by various methods which are also industrially developped.
The crucial issues of depolymerization and mineralization of different fluo-
ropolymers as well as their recycling, which can be used to reduce negative
impact on the environment, are also considered.
The second book focuses on the most important and advanced appli-
cations of these remarkable materials. Much attention is paid to the elec-
troactive (relaxor, multiferroic ferro- and piezoelectric) characteristics of
polymers, which allow them to be used as sensors and actuators. Several
sections are also devoted to membrane applications, either for ionic and
proton conductions for fuel cells or for purification or separation of various
substances. Another section reviews the optical properties of fluoropoly-
mers and methods to improve optical fibers and waveguides. In addition, a
chapter deals with the medical use of fluoropolymers, particularly in artifi-
cial blood circulation systems while two other ones report the development
of new organic electronics using fluoropolymers and their redox properties.
The use of fluoropolymer-based textiles in architecture is also discussed

1 Introduction
Ever since its discovery by Plunkett et al. [1], at the Dupont de Nemours
and company, Teflon has found niche applications where properties such as
thermal, chemical, and solvent resistance are required along with outstand-
ing electrical resistance. Impeccable success with Teflon led to the invention
of various fluorine containing homo-, co-, and terpolymers such as poly-
vinylidene fluoride (PVDF), P(VDF-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP),
P(VDF-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (PVDF-TFE), and P(VDF-TFE-chlorotri-
fluoroethylene) (PVDF-TFE-CTFE) [2,3]. Two common features among
all the commodity fluoropolymers include the free-radical polymerization
of fluoro-olefins [4] along with higher crystallinity leading to higher melt
processing cost, and poor solution processing capability [5].
To overcome drawbacks associated with traditional commodity fluo-
ropolymers, various amorphous fluoropolymers containing fluoroalkene
groups have been reported in the past 30 years. Among these, the most
extensively studied fluoroalkene-containing polymer is perfluorocyclobutyl
(PFCB) aromatic ether polymer, which is obtained by the radical mediated,
[2 + 2] cyclodimerization of trifluorovinyl ether (TFVE)-bearing mono-
mers (Scheme 1.1A). Originally conceptualized by Babb et al., at The Dow
Chemical Company, who demonstrated the feasibility of 1,2- bisaryloxy-
substituted perfluorocyclobutane containing polymers for high perfor-
mance aerospace and electronics applications, has now been studied for
optical, opto-electronic, gas separation, and proton-exchange membranes.
In addition to PFCB aromatic ether polymers, two additional, comple-
mentary classes of fluoroalkene-containing polymers, namely: perfluorocy-
cloalkenes (PFCA) (Scheme 1.1B) and fluorinated arylene vinylene ether
Scheme 1.1 Three semi-fluorinated aromatic ether polymers discussed in this review.
(A) PFCB, (B) PFCA, (C) FAVE.
(FAVE) (Scheme 1.1C) have been reported in the past decade. The aim of
this chapter is to review the synthesis, characterization, and various applica-
tions of these three fluoroalkene-containing polymers, and to further pres-
ent recent advancements reported in the literature.

36 (Scheme 1.12) [35]. At all studied mole ratios (monomer: initiator) and
reaction times, the PDI was low (<1.3). Furthermore, with reaction times,
an increase in the molecular weight was observed. Since the TFVE do
not undergo radical polymerization and exclusively polymerizes via [2 + 2]
mechanism, using a transformational strategy such as forming PFCB
monomer or polymeric units would therefore facilitate conventional radi-
cal polymerization techniques with other monomers that undergo radical
polymerization [35].

polymer is shown in Fig. 1.2 [39]. Between the Raman shifts 1850 and
1550 cm–1, three characteristic peaks at 1831, 1605, and 1554 cm–1 attrib-
uted to TFVE, phenyl rings, and residual mesitylene, were observed. With
increases in the curing at 150 °C, intensity increase and peak broadening for
phenyl rings (1605 cm–1) and decrease for TFVE groups (1831 cm–1) were
observed (Fig. 1.2) [39].
The normalized intensity of the 1831 cm–1 peak (with respect to
1605 cm–1) was used to calculate the extent of cure at various temperatures
(130, 150, 170, 190, and 210 °C). Based on the extent of cure at various cure
temperatures, depending on the study cure temperature, half-life for this
monomer was observed to vary from 450 min to less than 10 min, indicat-
ing the possibility of utilizing the Raman spectroscopy for optimizing the
curing process (Fig. 1.3) [39].
