Résumé :

Because of the increasing need for ever better performing materials endowed with specific properties, macromolecular engineering has become a useful tool for designing well-architectured polymers (telomers, telechelics, stars, dendrimers, alternating, block- and graftcopolymers). These polymers are nowadays seeing an enormous growth. Among them, fluoropolymers are seen as high value added materials in many applications ranging from surfactants, optical fibers, biomaterials, coatings, to membranes for fuel cells. Indeed, the relationship between structure of the monomer to the properties of the polymers is of increasing interest so that these properties are tuned for the most appropriate applications. As most fluoropolymers are prepared from radical synthesis, this book devotes various parts on the use of the controlled radical (or pseudo-living) polymerisation of fluoromonomers leading to discoveries of thermoplastic elastomers or original surfactants for polymerisation in supercritical CO2. Well-Architectured Fluoropolymers: Synthesis, Properties and Applications, is composed of five chapters starting with a general introduction outlining basic concepts. Emphasis is placed on recent developments, and each chapter describes comprehensive techniques of synthesis of well-defined fluorotelomers or polymers, their properties, characterisations, and their applications, for immediate use by today’s engineers, industrial and academic scientists, and researchers. The book has been arranged to enable self-managed reading and learning. It is both a source of data and a reference.

Résumé :

This volume brings together contributions by leading researchers covering a wide scope so characteristic of fluorine chemistry. It is a monograph of historical character comprising personalized accounts of progress and events in areas of particular interest. There is also much to interest and instruct chemists from other disciplines as a good proportion of the chapters contain a considerable amount of 'hard' referenced information relating to modern organic, organoelemental and inorganic chemistry. Historians of chemistry and technology will no doubt be tempted to dip into this book, and surely whoever addresses the task of commemorating Moissan's achievement at the 150-years stage will bless us all in some measure for its existence.

Summary :

This book is dedicated to all who have contributed to the acquisition of knowledge concerning the chemistry of fluorine and its compounds. It is published to commemorate the centenary of the first isolation of elemental fluorine by Henri Moissan in 1886. His notable achievement provides the justification of this book, but over the years many chemists, ranging from famous to obscure, have worked in the rather special and exciting field of fluorine chemistry. All have contributed something to the vast body of information now available, and the scope of this book is a tribute to their collective endeavours. The book is in two parts. The first addresses the history of the development of fluorine chemistry from the 18th century to the key period centered after World War II; this includes Moissan's own accomplishments. The second comprises reviews by acknowledged experts of the major branches of the field; these update the earlier accounts and show how the subject has developed, from difficult, experimental beginnings, into a coherent sub-discipline of chemistry.

Résumé :

Destiné aux chimistes, cet ouvrage tente de faire un tour d’horizon des diverses applications des composés fluorés en chimie bioorganique et médicinale. Les propriétés spécifiques des composés fluorés, leurs modes de préparation, le rôle de la présence de fluor dans les molécules biologiques et les différentes classes de cescomposés sont analysés précisément. Les principaux médicaments existant ou en développement font l’objet du dernier chapitre.
