Abstract.A series of a novel class of linear aromatic ether polymers (AEP) containing perfluorocyclobutyl and triazole unites were synthesized by click chemistry and their structures and properties that were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, GPC, TGA, DSC and WAXD. The results showed that these polymers exhibited relatively small molecular weight distributions (about 1.1), mostly were amorphous, and had good solubility in most dipole solvents and thermal stability. These polymers were reported to have potential value in material science. The reaction mechanism was well elucidated of the click chemistry indicated that it was efficient for polymerization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
