Abstract

We have successfully synthesized two types of chain-end-functionalized polystyrenes with a definite number of C8F17 groups that are dendritically distributed and linearly aligned in a double line. They are referred to as D and L types, respectively. In each type, there are three series of polymers whose C8F17 groups are connected to the main polystyrene chains by phenyl ether, benzyl ether, and benzyl ester linkages. A definite number of C8F17 groups ...
