Trifluoroethylene (abbreviated as TrFE[3]) is an organofluoride compound with the chemical formula C2HF3. It is a colourless gas.[1] TrFE can polymerise to form poly(trifluoroethylene) (PTrFE). It can also form copolymers with other monomers, such as vinylidene fluoride to form a co-polymer that is used to produce ferroelectric materials.[4]
