Comparison of epoxy- and cyclocarbonate-functionalised vinyl ethers in radical copolymerisation with chlorotrifluoroethylene

The synthesis of functional fluoropolymers is a challenging and highly sought-after objective. Fluoroolefins are indeed in their vast majority non-functional. Their specific reactivity however, can be turned into an advantage. Alternating copolymerisation

Separating material

The present invention provides a separating material producable by a) providing a solid substrate, having amino-functional groups coupled to the substrate surface, b) covalently coupling of the amino-functional groups with a thermally labile radical initiator, c) contacting the substrate surface with a solution of polymerizable monomers under conditions, where thermally initiated graft copolymerization of the monomers takes place, to form a structure of adjacent functional polymer chains on the surface of the substrate.
