Poly(pentafluorostyrene), high heat & chemical resistance, low refractive index & dielectric constant
For applications in the field of optoelectronics such as a cladding layer in optical waveguide, and design of polylectrolytic membranes for fuel cells
Poly(pentafluorostyrene) (PPFS) is a highly fluorinated homopolymer of pentafluorostyrene monomer via free radical polymerisation. Due to its high ratio of fluoro content in the polymer, poly(pentafluorostyrene) offer great thermal stability with high heat and high chemical resistance, as well as oil and water repellence.
