Limits of Vinylidene Fluoride RAFT Polymerization

Polymer Fluoride Sensors Synthesized by RAFT Polymerization.

A series of polymer chemosensors containing naphthalimide signal moiety and imide recognition moiety for the selective detection of fluoride ions (F(-) ) were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymer chemosensors display obvious absorption and fluorescence variations upon the addition of F(-) , which can be observed by both naked eyes an...

HEREROGENEOUS POLYMERIZATION OF VINYLIDENE FLUORIDE IN scCO2 IN THE PRESENCE OF PEFLUOROPOLYETHER SURFACTANTS

heterogeneous polymerization of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) has been investigated in scCO2 in the presence of different perfuoropolyether surfactants using DECP as free radical initiator. When carboxylate perfluoropolyether was used higher monomer conversions were obtained with respect to precipitation processes. PVDF was collected at the end of the process under the form of a white powder and SE...

Quantum Modelling of Poly(vinylidene Fluoride)

A New Approach for Monte Carlo Simulation of RAFT Polymerization

In this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of RAFT polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. The reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. The ...
