USE OF COPOLYMERS OF PERFLUORO(ALKYL VINYL ETHER) FOR PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTIONS

摘要

An apparatus for photochemical reactions is disclosed that includes a reactor and a light source situated so that light from the light source is directed through a portion of the reactor wall. The apparatus is characterized by the portion of the reaction wall comprising a copolymer of a perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether). Also disclosed is a photochemical reaction process wherein light from a light source is directed through a reactor wall to interact with reactants in said reactor; and the process is characterized by the light directed through the reactor wall being directed through a copolymer of a perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether).
