Copolymerization of Glycidyl Methacrylate and 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoroisopropyl Acrylate

Abstract:

The copolymerization of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl acrylate (HFIPA) and glycidyl methacrylate via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process was investigated. 2-cyano-2-propyl dodecyl trithiocarbonate (CPDT) was used as chain transfer agent. It is turned out that CPDT and polymeric chain transfer agent obtained based on HFIPA and CPDT provide a good control over molar mass characteristic of copolymers (Đ = 1.05). Reactivity ratios were found to be r₁(GMA) = 1.57 and r₂(HFIPA) = 0.05 by Fineman–Ross model.
