Abstract:Because of the unusual polymerization mechanism and normal high polymerization temperature of trifluorovinyl aryl ether monomers, it is difficult to synthesize perfluorocyclobutyl aryl ether (PFCB)-containing block copolymer via sequential addition of monomers. Here a coupling reaction via click chemistry to prepare PFCB-containing ABA triblock copolymer is reported. An azide-ended PFCB polymer, which was firstly prepared by end-modification of methyl-ended PFCB polymer, was coupled with alkynyl-ended polyethy… Show more
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.
