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:
The present invention discloses a process for making a fluoropolymer having nitrile endgroups. The process comprises a free radical polymerization of one or more fluorinated monomers in the presence of a nitrile group containing salt or a nitrile group containing pseudohalogen compound.
摘要:
Emulsion polymerization of liquid fluorinated monomers which have a boiling point above 50° C. and low water-solubility is markedly more efficient if the monomer is pre-emulsified with a nontelogenic fluorinated emulsifier in water.
摘要:
The present invention is based on quad-fluoropolymer suitable for the preparation of a fluoroelastomer. The fluoropolymer comprises repeating units derived from 10 to 40 mol % of tetrafluoroethylene, 40 to 65 mol % of vinylidene fluoride, 1 to 30 mol % of a perfluorinated vinyl ether of the formula CF2═CFOCF2CF2CF2OCF3, 1 to 20 mol % of perfluoromethyl vinylether.
摘要:
A method of making a curable fluoroelastomer is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of preemulsifying at least one perfluorovinylether in water, and copolymerizing the preemulsified perfluorovinylether with a gaseous fluorinated monomer in the presence of a cure site monomer. The method provides a fluoroelastomer having a glass transition temperature of less than −10° C. Also disclosed is a fluoroelastomer that consists essentially of a perfluorovinylether of formula (I) as defined below, a cure site component, perfluoromethylvinylether, and tetrafluoroethylene and/or chlorotrifluoroethylene.
摘要:
A fluorochemical composition for rendering a fibrous substrate oil and/or water repellent which comprises a solution or dispersion of a fluoropolymer having a partially or fully fluorinated backbone and comprising one or more repeating units corresponding to the general formula: wherein Rf represents a perfluorinated organic group having a chain length of at least 2 atoms and having at least one carbon atom and optional auxiliary components.
