Abstract

Branched aliphatic hydrocarbons, having from 6 to 25 carbon atoms and a ratio between the number of methyl groups and the number of carbon atoms higher than 0.5, are used in radical (co)polymerization processes of fluorinated olefinic monomers, optionally in association with non-fluorinated olefins, both in suspension and in aqueous emulsion. Such hydrocarbons are characterized, in the usual reaction conditions, by a chain transfer effect practically absent.
