Abstract: A fluoropolymer of a monomer (I) represented by the general formula (I), wherein a content of a polymerization unit (I) derived from the monomer (I) is 50% by mass or more based on all polymerization units constituting the fluoropolymer: CX2?CX—O—Rf—SO3M??General formula (I) wherein X is independently F or CF3; Rf is a fluorine-containing alkylene group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms or a fluorine-containing alkylene group having 2 to 100 carbon atoms and having an ether bond or a keto group; and M is —H, a metal atom, —NR74, imidazolium optionally having a substituent, pyridinium optionally having a substituent, or phosphonium optionally having a substituent, wherein R7 is H or an organic group. Also disclosed are an aqueous solution and coating composition containing the fluoropolymer.

Abstract: A method of recovering a decomposition product of a thermosetting resin cured product, the method includes a step of contacting an object to be treated, that contains a thermosetting resin cured product, with a treatment liquid containing an alkali metal compound and an alcohol solvent, to decompose and dissolve the thermosetting resin cured product; a step of mixing the treatment liquid, in which a decomposition product of the thermosetting resin cured product is dissolved, and an acidic aqueous solution to separate the mixture into an aqueous layer and an organic layer containing the decomposition product; and a step of recovering the organic layer.

Abstract: A method of treating a thermosetting resin cured product, the method includes a treatment step of contacting an object to be treated, that contains a thermosetting resin cured product, with a treatment liquid containing an alkali metal hydroxide and an alcohol solvent, to decompose and dissolve the thermosetting resin cured product, in which moisture in the treatment liquid is removed during at least a part of a period of time from after preparation of the treatment liquid to completion of the treatment step.
