Abstract:
A process for (co)polymerizing at least one fluorinated olefinic monomer(s), optionally in association with at least one nonfluorinated olefin, comprising (co)polymerizing said monomer(s) in an aqueous emulsion containing a surfactant and in the presence of a radical photoinitiator selected from the group consisting of inorganic peroxides, organic peroxides, ketones, dialkylsulphides, transition metal complexes, and halogenated organic compounds, and in the presence of a radiation ranging from ultraviolet to visible and having a wavelength ranging from 220 nm to 600 nm, wherein the reaction temperature is from -20.degree. C. to +100.degree. C., and wherein the reaction pressure is from 3 to 50 bar.
