Fluoropolymers display a wide range of remarkable properties and are used in a number of applications including high performance elastomers, thermoplastics, coatings for optical fibers, and hydrophobic and lipophobic surfaces.

The set contains two books, Fluorinated Polymers: Synthesis, Properties, Processing and Simulation and Fluorinated Polymers: Applications. The first book covers the fundamentals of fluoropolymers including the kinetics of homopolymerisation and copolymerization, process chemistry, and controlled radical co-polymerisation techniques. The second book discusses the recent developments in the uses of fluoropolymers. Examples include materials for energy applications such as fuel cell membranes, lithium ion batteries and photovoltaics, as well as high-tech areas such as aerospace and aeronautics, automotives, building industries, textile finishings and electronics.

Written by internationally recognized academic and industrial contributors, the book will be of interest to those in industry and academia working in the fields of materials science, polymer chemistry and energy applications of polymers.

Together these two books provide a complete overview of different fluorinated polymer materials and their uses.
