Poly(1,1-difluoroethene) is a high-performance fluoropolymer widely used in the manufacture of chemical-resistant piping and advanced acoustic sensors.
The structure of a repeating unit of a poly(1,1-difluoroethene) molecule is shown in Figure 1.
This polymer is synthesized from a monomer.
Draw the structure of the monomer molecule, showing all covalent bonds.
