Abstract

The polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene initiated by the inorganic polymer fluorocarbon material CF0.95 prepared by the high-temperature fluorination of petroleum coke has been studied. The kinetics of the process has been examined, and the dependences of the rate of polymerization and the yield of polymer on monomer pressure and temperature have been considered. The free-radical mechanism of the process is established by ESR. The kinetic features of initiation and polymerization leading to an exponential growth in rate in the initial non-steady-state portion of kinetic curves are discussed.
