Paracyanogen and pyrolyzed poly(acrylonitrile) have been perfluorinated using elemental fluorine and have retained their polymeric fused ring structures. The two new materials produced by this method were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, electron impact mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, iodometric titration, and thermogravimetric analysis. Some chemical and physical properties are discussed as well as several possible applications in light of the discussed properties of these materials. 21 refs., 4 figs., 3 tabs.
