The fluorine atom, by virtue of its electronegativity, size and  bond strength with carbon, can be used to create compounds with  remarkable properties. Small molecules containing fluorine have many  positive impacts on everyday life of which blood substitutes,  pharmaceuticals and surface modifiers are only a few examples.   Fluoropolymers, too, while traditionally associated with extreme  high-performance applications have found their way into our homes, our  clothing and even our language.   Much progress has been made in understanding the sometimes confounding  properties of fluoropolymers. Computer simulation is now contributing  to this with new fluorine force fields and other parameters, bringing  realistic prediction within reach of the practicing physical chemist.    Fluoropolymers 1: Synthesis and Fluoropolymers 2:  Properties attempt to bring together in one place the chemistry,  physics and engineering properties of fluoropolymers. The collection  was intended to provide balance between breadth and depth, with  contributions ranging from the introduction of fluoropolymer  structure-property relationships, to reviews of subfields, to more  focused topical reports.
