Polyvinylidene fluoride or polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) is a highly non-reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer produced by the polymerization of vinylidene difluoride. Its chemical formula is (C 2 H 2 F 2) n. PVDF is a specialty plastic used in applications requiring the highest purity, as well as resistance to solvents, acids and ...
Polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) or – (CH 2 CHF) n – is a polymer material mainly used in the flammability -lowering coatings of airplane interiors and photovoltaic module backsheets. [2] It is also used in raincoats and metal sheeting. Polyvinyl fluoride is a thermoplastic fluoropolymer with a repeating vinyl fluoride unit, and it is structurally ...
Fluoropolymer. A fluoropolymer is a fluorocarbon -based polymer with multiple carbon–fluorine bonds. It is characterized by a high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases. The best known fluoropolymer is polytetrafluoroethylene under the brand name "Teflon," trademarked by the DuPont Company.
Vinylidene chloride and fluoride can be converted to linear polymers polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The polymerization reaction is: n CH 2 =CX 2 → (CH 2 −CX 2) n. These vinylidene polymers are isomeric with those produced from vinylene monomers. Thus polyvinylene fluoride from vinylene fluoride (HFC=CHF).
Ferroelectric polymer. Ferroelectric polymers [1] [2] are a group of crystalline polar polymers that are also ferroelectric, meaning that they maintain a permanent electric polarization that can be reversed, or switched, in an external electric field. Ferroelectric polymers, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), are used in acoustic ...
1,1-Difluoroethylene. Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). 1,1-Difluoroethylene, also known as vinylidene fluoride, is a hydrofluoroolefin. This colorless, flammable gas is a difluorinated derivative of ethylene. Global production in 1999 was approximately 33,000 ...
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) tubes are intended for high temperature applications. [citation needed] Silicone rubber offers excellent resistance to scrape abrasion and high flexibility. Its operating temperature range is -50 to 200 °C [citation needed]
