Abstract: The invention relates to a copolymer comprising units derived from monomers of vinylidene fluoride and/or trifluoroethylene, as well as fluorinated monomers X comprising a double bond and a leaving group selected from among chlorine, bromine and iodine atoms, the leaving groups being partially replaced by azide groups in the copolymer.

Abstract: A polymer including VDF-based units having an electrocaloric effect under the effect of a variable electric field. The polymer includes 0.1 to 10.0 mol % double bonds, which are substantially non-conjugated. Also, a corresponding composition including the polymer, a corresponding film including the polymer, and to various uses of the polymer.

Abstract: A copolymer including fluorinated units of formula (I): —CX1X2—CX3X4—??(I) in which each of the X1, X2, X3 and X4 is independently chosen from H, F and alkyl groups including from 1 to 3 carbon atoms which are optionally partially or totally fluorinated; and fluorinated units of formula (II): —CX5X6—CX7Z—??(II) in which each of the X5, X6 and X7 is independently chosen from H, F and alkyl groups including from 1 to 3 carbon atoms which are optionally partially or totally fluorinated, and in which Z is a photoactive group of formula —Y—Ar—R, Y representing an oxygen atom or an NH group or a sulfur atom, Ar representing an aryl group, and R being a monodentate or bidentate group including from 1 to 30 carbon atoms. Also, a process for preparing this copolymer, a composition including this copolymer, and a film obtained from this copolymer.

Abstract: A copolymer including units derived from fluoro monomers of formula (I): CX1X2?CX3X4??(I) in which each of the X1, X2, X3 and X4 is independently chosen from H, F and alkyl groups including from 1 to 3 carbon atoms which are optionally partially or totally fluorinated, the H and/or F atoms of the fluoro monomers being partially replaced with photoactive groups of formula —Y—Ar—R in the copolymer; Y representing an oxygen atom or an NH group or a sulfur atom, Ar representing an aryl group, preferably a phenyl group, and R being a monodentate or bidentate group including from 1 to 30 carbon atoms. The fluoro monomers of formula (I) of the copolymer include vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene. Also, a process for preparing this copolymer, a composition including this copolymer, and a film obtained from the copolymer.
