Fluoropolymer surfaces with new and specific functionalities, such as metal‐free conductivity, biocompatability, and bondability to metals, can be obtained through the intelligent choice of functional monomers for graft copolymerization on pre‐activated fluoropolymer surfaces, as highlighted in this review. The Figure shows a gold/fluoropolymer laminate held together by crosslinked glycidyl methacrylate polymer grafted on both surfaces.
