Abstract
The synthesis of polymers from polyfluorinated styrenes in a low-frequ ency glow discharge was studied. The growth rates of polymer films on metal supports were determined. The structure of the produced polymers was studied by IR-spectroscopy and elemental microanalysis techniques . The role of various mechanisms of polymer formation: the polymerizat ion by double bond cleavage, the condensation of fluoroaromatic rings by the abstraction of a substituent, the opening of rings to form alip hatic units in a polymer chain, etc. was discussed in relation to the type of substituent at the fluoroaromatic ring.
