FLUOROOLEFIN MONOMERS AND COPOLYMERS THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed herein are novel fluoroolefins of formula Rf-O-(CF2CF2)n(CH2CF2)m-CH-CH2, wherein n is 1 or 2, m is 0 or 1 and Rf is a C1-C8 fluoroalkyl or fluoroalkoxy group. The fluoroolefins may be oxidized to manufacture fluorinated carboxylic acids. Also disclosed are fluoropolymers comprising copolymerized units of the fluoroolefins of the invention and at least one other fluoromonomer.
