Fluorinated polymers have high thermal stability

superb chemical resistance

excellent mechanical property

superior weather ability and high oil and water repellence.ATRP as a useful polymerization method can produce well-defined copolymers with various architectures (block

star

dendritic or graft)and with predictable molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distribution.When the method ATRP was applied in the preparation of fluorinated polymers

excellent properties may be achieved with a small content of fluorinated monomers.In this paper

progresses of ATRP in producing fluorinated polymers have been reviewed.
