Abstract

AbstractPerfluoro(vinyl ether) derivatives are extremely versatile monomers in preparing a variety of functional fluoropolymers. In this paper, two challenging topics in the development of novel fluoropolymers will be introduced. Carboxylated perfluoro(vinyl ether) can be copolymerized with tetrafluoroethylene to afford perfluorinated ion‐exchange membranes, which realize the innovative process for pollution‐free and energy‐saving chlor‐alkali production. Another topic includes the discovery of selective cyclo‐polymerization of specially designed difunctional perfluoromonomers such as perfluoro(allyl vinyl ether) which is readily derived from the carboxylated perfluoro(vinyl ether). The novel perfluoropolymer with a cyclic structure in the main chain is characterized by an exceptional transparency, and has been commercialized with expectation of major applications in electronics industries.
