Abstract

Abstract The synthesis and characterization of novel poly (CTFE-g-oligoEO) graft copolymers [chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) and ethylene oxide (EO)] are presented. First, vinyl ether monomers bearing oligo (EO) were prepared by transetherification of ω- hydroxyoligo (EO) with ethyl vinyl ether catalyzed by a palladium complex in 70–84% yields. Two vinyl ethers of different molecular weights (three and 10 EO units) were thus obtained ...
