Abstract
Abstract Poly(vinyl fluoride) films are extensively used as protective, easy-clean materials in the photovoltaic and aerospace industries. However, polymerization of vinyl fluoride (VF) monomer typically requires high pressures (>5000 psi) due to the low solubility of VF monomer in the aqueous polymerization medium. VF was found to exhibit high solubilities in fluorinated ionic liquids and concentrated aqueous ionic salt solutions at low pressures (
