Reaction mechanism of borane/oxygen radical initiators during the polymerization of fluoromonomers
Title of Paper:
Reaction mechanism of borane/oxygen radical initiators during the polymerization of fluoromonomers
Summary:
In summary, the combined information from oxidation adducts of two related boranes (triethylborane and diethyl-methoxylborane) and the polymer chain end structure presents a complete picture of oxidation and the initiation mechanism of broane/oxygen-mediated radical polymerization of fluo-romonomers at ambient temperature. This borane/oxygen initia-tor offers a safe and effective route to prepare fluoropolymers with high molecular weights and high purities. It also provides the control of polymer chain end structure by initiator.
