摘要:
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided (i) an amorphous fluoropolymer that has one or more cure site components, the cure site components being contained in the amorphous fluoropolymer in an amount between 0.1 and 0.5 mol % based on the total amount of repeating units and/or (ii) the amorphous fluoropolymer is capable of being dehydrofluorinated, wherein the amorphous fluoropolymer is derivable from a polymerization of (a) one or more gaseous fluorinated monomers and (b) not more than 0.5% by weight based on the total weight of monomers of one or more olefins having a bromine or iodine atom bonded to a carbon of the double bond of the olefin.
摘要:
A fluoropolymer having a reduced amount of polar end groups. The fluoropolymer is produced by free radical polymerization of fluorinated monomers and the initiation of the polymerization is carried out in the presence of a chloride salt. Polar end groups include hydroxy groups and ionized or ionizable end groups. Examples of ionized or ionizable end groups include acid groups and salts thereof such as sulfonic acid and salts thereof, —CH2—OSO3H groups, sulfates and carbonyl containing end groups such as carboxylic and carboxylate groups. Due to the presence of chloride salt at the initiation of the free radical polymerization, CF2Cl end groups are formed instead of the polar end groups. As a result, a fluoropolymer is obtained that has improved processibility and heat resistance.

摘要:
A method for polymerizing, in an aqueous medium, at least one fluorinated monomer in the presence of a non-copolymerizable, non-fluorinated surfactant. The surfactant is generally selected from a non-ionic surfactant, a primary anionic surfactant, or a combination thereof. Fluorinated surfactants are not utilized. The resulting partially fluorinated polymer in the aqueous medium is either a semi-crystalline polymer or a crystalline polymer.
