Abstract
Due to the nature of fluoromonomers and their reactivities, specific reactions of controlled radical polymerization (CRP, or reactivation deactivation radical polymerization, RDRP) are suitable for specific monomers: fluoroolefins as well as (meth)acrylates and styrenics). For F-alkenes, Iodine Transfer Polymerization (ITP), RAFT/MADIX and reactions involving borane to some extent are the most suitable techniques. As for F-(meth)acrylates and styrenes, ATRP, NMP, RAFT and RITP have been the most appropriate methods. Industrial applications as thermoplastic elastomers have been developped for several decades. This chapter is illustrated with many examples and discussed.
