Fluoroelastomers

  • Chapter
Organofluorine Chemistry

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Chemistry ((TAPP))

Abstract

Although discovered more than 50 years ago, fluoropolymers are still growing in terms of production volume and of introduction of new compositions to meet industrial needs. Also, they still represent an active field of research holding great promise for new discoveries in the form of macromolecules with unusual properties. As a class fluoroelastomers account for less than ten percent of total fluoropolymer production, which is dominated by PTFE (mainly) and related crystalline fluoroplastics (see Chapter 15).
