Definition
Fluorination is the chemical process of adding the element fluorine into a molecule. Fluorine has atomic number 9 and is in group 17, the halogens. Fluorination is a kind of halogenation.
Applications
- Fluorinating a surface or applying a fluorinated coating lowers the surface energy and makes the surface more hydrophobic. Desbief et. al. [3] coat an aluminum surface with a fluorinated block copolymer to make the aluminum more hydrophobic.
- Many companies make fluorinated plastic containers which are less permeable than simple HDPE containers.
- Pharmaceuticals
