The synthesis was done by an anionic polymerization of PS and POE terminated by grafting 3-perfluorooctylpropanoyle chloride (C 8F 17–C 2H 4–COCl) onto PS-POE alcoholate. The structure has been characterized by a number of techniques: size exclusion chromatography, elementary analysis, UV ...
Synthesis of a bifunctional initiator (2) In a 100 ml round-bottomed flask filled with argon, 2-bromo-2- methylpropanoyl bromide (6.5 mmol, 0.80 ml) was added to a solution of 1,4-bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzene (1.8 mmol, 0.35 g) and triethylamine (6.5 mmol, 0.91 ml) in dry THF (20...
