Abstract
The invention pertains to a process for manufacturing a fluoropolynner film comprising a fluoropolymer hybrid organic/inorganic composite, said process comprising the following steps: (i) providing a mixture of: —at least one fluoropolymer [polymer (F)]; —at least one metal compound [compound (M)] having formula: X4-mAYm wherein m is an integer from 1 to 4, A is a metal selected from the group consisting of Si, Ti and Zr, Y is a hydrolysable group and X is a hydrocarbon group, optionally comprising one or more functional groups; —a liquid medium consisting essentially of at least one ionic liquid (IL) and, optionally, at least one additive (A); —optionally, at least one electrolytic salt (ES); and —optionally, at least one organic solvent (S); (ii) hydrolyzing and/or polycondensing said compound (M) to yield a liquid mixture comprising fluoropolymer hybrid organic/inorganic composite comprising inorganic domains and incorporating said liquid medium; (iii) processing a film from the liquid mixture obtained in step (ii); and (iv) drying and then, optionally, curing the film obtained in step (iii) for obtaining the fluoropolymer film. The invention also pertains to the fluoropolymer f…
