## Abstract The Achilles heel of the parylene polymers is their oxidative stability at room temperature with UV exposure and at elevated temperature >115 °C in air. This weakness is attributed to the aliphatic carbon‐carbon single bond in the main‐chain backbone. Fluorinating this chemistry helps t
