Fluoropolymers 2018

Fluoropolymers are enabling materials which find applications in critical technologies involving energy storage and conversion, microelectronics and photonics, extreme environment applications, and biomaterials. Traditional fluoropolymer technology is nearly 80 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 tenth biennial Fluoropolymer conference hosted by the Division of Polymer Chemistry. The Fluoropolymer workshops have been tremendously successful since 2000 -- don't miss this tenth installment.
