Synthesis of graft copolymers of polyethylene: grafting of fluorinated model compound oligomers

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-1139(93)03043-L

The condensation reaction of perfluorinated amines on to (succinic anhydride)-HDPE (high-density polyethylene) graft copolymer have been studied.Four different amine structures have been synthesized which have been analyzed by 1H NMR spectroscopy GC-MS methods.Model structures of succinimide and succinamic acid have been synthesized with each amine and analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy in order to determine the structure of the compolymer obtained.A scale of reactivity has been deduced as a function of the amine structure.Grafting levels of copolymer have been determined by elemental analysis of fluorine.
