Abstract
Performances of fluoropolymers related to membranes manufacturing for different purposes are reviewed in the present article. In particular the main physical, mechanical and chemical properties of PVDF, ECTFE and PFSA ionomers are described in their specific applications. The excellent chemical resistance and suitable electrochemical properties make fluoropolymers an especially good choice in membranes manufacturing.
