Abstract

A polymerization process in microemulsion of:(I) one or more fluorinated monomers containing at least one ethylene unsaturation;(II) one or more fluorinated monomers containing sulphonyl groups —SO2F; said process comprising:a) preparation of an aqueous microemulsion, having a pH in the range 4-7, of perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs);b) feeding of the microemulsion to the polymerization reactor, in an amount higher than 18 ml per liter of reaction medium;c) introduction of the monomer (II) in liquid form into the reactor, reactor pressurization with the gaseous monomers (I);d) addition of the initiator, and feeding of the monomers (I) during the polymerization so as to maintain constant the reactor pressure.
