Enhancing the processability of polychlorotrifluoroethylene via copolymerization with perfluoropropyl vinyl ether

Key Points

This research aims to enhance the processability of polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) by synthesizing a copolymer with perfluoropropyl vinyl ether (PPVE).
Synthesis of PCTFE-PPVE copolymer
Evaluation of material crystallinity
Assessment of melt viscosity
Comparison of processability before and after PPVE incorporation
PPVE incorporation reduces material crystallinity
Melt viscosity is decreased in the new copolymer
Enhanced overall processability of PCTFE copolymer

Abstract

A novel PCTFE-PPVE copolymer was successfully synthesized; PPVE incorporation reduces material crystallinity and melt viscosity, and the resulting copolymer shows enhanced processability.
