Light-Driven Organocatalyzed Controlled Radical Copolymerization of (Perfluoroalkyl)ethylenes and Vinyl Esters/Amides
Fluoropolymers of well-defined structures exhibit significant potential in a broad range of high-tech applications. However, the controlled synthesis of fluoropolymers from easily available monomers remains difficult. In this work, we report the development of an organocatalyzed controlled radical copolymerization of (perfluoroalkyl)ethylenes (PFAEs) and unconjugated vinyl monomers (UCMs) under light irradiation, which has enabled on-demand access toward side-chain fluorinated polymers under metal-free conditions. This method furnishes a large variety of polymers with diverse fluoroalkyl and ester/amide as pendent groups, tunable molar masses, and low dispersities (ca. Đ = 1.1–1.3), and adjustable fractions of PFAE and UCM units. Obtained fluoropolymers exhibit good chain-end fidelity and activity, allowing chain-extension polymerizations to prepare block copolymers of complicated compositions. Furthermore, the PFAE copolymers exhibit outstanding light transmission and low refractive index.
期刊介绍:
ACS Macro Letters publishes research in all areas of contemporary soft matter science in which macromolecules play a key role, including nanotechnology, self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry, biomaterials, energy generation and storage, and renewable/sustainable materials. Submissions to ACS Macro Letters should justify clearly the rapid disclosure of the key elements of the study. The scope of the journal includes high-impact research of broad interest in all areas of polymer science and engineering, including cross-disciplinary research that interfaces with polymer science.
With the launch of ACS Macro Letters, all Communications that were formerly published in Macromolecules and Biomacromolecules will be published as Letters in ACS Macro Letters.
