    摘要: The present invention provides a process for making fluorinated polymers and copolymers having stable end groups. The process includes (1) contacting a fluoromonomer, an initiator capable of producing stable end groups on the polymer chain, and a polymerization medium comprising carbon dioxide, and (2) polymerizing the fluoromonomer. The polymerization medium preferably comprises liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide. Advantageously, the process may also include the step of separating the fluoropolymer from the polymerization medium.The present invention also provides polymerization reaction mixtures useful in the processes of the present invention.

    摘要: The surfactant sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) was used to form reverse micelle and microemulsion ethane and propane for systems consisting of 80 to 100 percent alkane by weight. Phase diagrams from view cell studies of microemulsion phases formed in supercritical fluids are reported and shown to be strongly dependent on pressure. The properties of these solutions were also characterized by conductivity, density and surfactant solubility measurements. The solubility of AOT in ethane and propane over a range of pressures shows behavior typical of soilds in supercritical fluids. The maximum water to surfactant ratio (Wo) increased dramatically in both ethane and propane systems as presssure was increased. At 300 bar and 103 DEG C., the supercritical propane-surfactant system is capable of solubilizing much more water (Wo=12) than the supercritical ethane-surfactant system (Wo=4) at 300 bar and 37 DEG C. Some of the important thermodynamic contributions which are likely responsible for this pressure dependent phase behavior are discussed and potential applications of this new class of solvents are considered.
