Perfluoroalkoxy alkanes (PFA) are fluoropolymers. They are
copolymers of
tetrafluoroethylene (C2F4) and
perfluoroethers (C2F3ORf,

Alkane metathesis is a
class of
chemical reaction in
which an
alkane is
rearranged to give a

Aliphatic compounds can be saturated,
joined by
single bonds (
alkanes), or unsaturated, with
double bonds (alkenes) or
triple bonds (alkynes)...
