Résumé
Fluorinated polymers are a remarkable polymers because of their thermal, chemical and oxidative stability making them useful in specific applications such as non-sticky paints and coatings, chemically resistant O-rings and seals, membranes for fuel cells, separators and binders for Lithium ion batteries, wires and cable insulation, and so on. They are mainly synthesized by radical (co)polymerization of fluoroalkenes. Among fluorinated polymers, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is one the most often used since it can be synthesized according to usual radical pathways, just like VDF containing–copolymers that lead to many applications
