Abstract

Perfluoroplymers have excellent thermal and chemical stability, high insulating ability, and low refractive index and dielectric constant, but their limited solubility and high crystallinity necessitate extreme processing c0nditions. l Recently, ringcontaining polymers Teflon-AF* and Cytop3 were introduced by DuPont4 and Asahi Glass, 5 respectively. In contrast to poly- (tetrafluoroethylene), these cyclic fluoropolymers are amorphous but soluble only in ...
