Fluoropolymers are enabling
materials which find applications in critical technologies from energy
conversion, to microelectronics and photonics, to extreme environment
applications to biomaterials. Traditional fluoropolymer technology is
nearly 65 years old and it maintains a growth rate above the US GNP. In
addition to perfluoropolymers, partially fluorinated polymers will continue
to impact a wide range of technologies as better control of their unique
optical, electronic, processing, extreme environment stability, and surface
properties is achieved. This will be the fifth biannual FLUOROPOLYMER
conference hosted by the Division of Polymer Chemistry. FLUOROPOLYMER 2000,
2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010 were tremendous successes with a sell-out
attendance. Please join us for
the 7th in a series.
