Fluoropolymers

This chapter focuses on fluoropolymers. Chemical structures with manufacturers and trade names along with typical end uses of the plastics are included besides extensive graphical, physical, mechanical, and electrical properties as a function of temperature. Plastics included in this section are the several types of polytetrafluoroethylene, fluorinated ethylene propylene, perfluoroalkoxy, polyvinyl fluoride, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, ethylene–tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, and ethylene–chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer.
