Spectroscopic studies and first-principles modelling of 2,2,4-trifluoro-5-trifluoromethoxy-1,3-dioxole (TTD) and TTD–TFE copolymers (Hyflon® AD)
文摘
Amorphous fluorinated optical polymers, characterized by high transparency in the visible and near infrared spectra, high glass transition temperature and very good resistance to chemical environment, have been developed by co-polymerisation of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and 2,2,4-trifluoro-5-trifluoromethoxy-1,3-dioxole (TTD). In this work we study at molecular level the effect of the introduction of the bulky TTD unit in a perfluoroalkyl chain.
