Abstract

Use of vinylidenfluoride (VDF) copolymers for preparing electrolyte polymers, wherein the VDF copolymers have the following polymeric structure (I):(CH2—CF2)m—(CXY—C(ORf)Z)n—(CF2—CF(CF3))p) wherein:Rf is a perfluoroalkyl group having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms;X, Y, and Z equal to or different from each other are selected from F, Cl or H; m,n and p are integers, n or p can be 0 but not simultaneously;said VDF copolymers being obtainable by emulsion polymerization at 75-120° C., preferably 95°-120° C., in the presence of organic initiators.
