Abstract
An atomic force microscopy study demonstrates that thermal treatment-induced transitions in submicron films deposited on silicon, glass and mica substrates from solutions of tetrafluoroethylene–acetone telomers result from the evaporation of the solvent and short-chain telomers and reconstruction of the colloidal particle skeleton formed by higher chain telomers, the mean chain lengths of which includes 7–10 tetrafluoroethylene fragments.
