Abstract

This invention concerns the discovery of a new fluid that promotes the fluorination of polymeric materials more safely, more completely, and more efficiently than the fluids used in the prior art. The new fluid is called "dioxifluorine," which is a mixture of carbon dioxide and fluorine where carbon dioxide is the carrier fluid and fluorine is the reactant.
