Abstract

Novel, fluorinated monomer with pendant sulfonate group was synthesized utilizing a two- step derivatization of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-pentafluorostyrene (FS). The first step was a nucleophilic substitution of the fluorine atom in para position by hydroxyl group followed by sulfopropylation. The monomer was polymerized under aqueous ATRP conditions to yield phenyl-fluorinated aromatic homopolymer bearing pendant sulfonates on each repeating ...
