Fluoroplastics optical properties

Chemically, THV fluoroplastic is a terpolymer of TFE, HFP, and VDF produced by emulsion polymerization. The resulting dispersion is either processed into powders and pellets or concentrated with emulsifier and supplied in that form to the market [91]. Currently, the manufacturer is Dyneon LLC, and there are essentially nine commercial grades (flve dry grades in pellet or agglomerate form and four aqueous dispersions) available that differ in the monomer ratios and consequently in melting points, chemical resistance, optical properties, and flexibility. 

Optical and Spectral Properties of Melt-processible Fluoroplastics... 

Perfluorocyclobutane (PFCB) polyaryl ethers are one such class of partially fluorinated polymers which combine the processability and durability of engineering thermoplastics with the optical, electrical, thermal, and chemical resistant properties of traditional fluoroplastics. Developed originally at The Dow Chemical Company" in Freeport, TX, PFCB polymers are prepared by the radical mediated thermal cyclopolymerization of trifluorovinyl ethers (Figure 1) and have, to date, provided a variety of thermoplastic and thermosetting materials possessing a tunable range of...
