4 Introduction to FluoropolymersSina Ebnesajjad, PhDFluoroConsultants Group, IntroductionFluoropolymer is usually olefinic polymer which consistsof partially or fully fluorinated olefinic monomers such asvinylidene fluoride (CH2 CF2) and tetrafluoroethylene(TFE) (CF2 CF2). These polymers have been covered ingreat detail in a number of references (see General Refer-ences). More specialty fluorinated polymers include per-fluoroethers, fluoroacrylates, and fluorosilicones which areused in significantly smaller volume than olefinic fluo-ropolymers. These Fluoropolymers and others are covered indetail elsewhere[1,2].Commercial Fluoropolymers include homopolymers andcopolymers. Homopolymers contain 99% or more by weightone monomer and 1% or less by weight of another monomeraccording to the convention by American Society for TestingMaterials (ASTM).
