MACROMERS OF VINYLIDENE FLUORIDE, ACRYLATE-TERMINATED POLY(VINYLIDENE FLUORIDE) AND ITS COPOLYMERIC THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS

摘要

Polymers prepared from vinylidene fluoride having controlled molecular weights and sulfate end groups are described. The sulfate end group can be displaced with acrylic-type acids to produce the corresponding acrylate terminated poly(vinylidene fluoride) macromolecular monomers. These macromolecular monomers can be copolymerized with acrylates that give rubbery homopolymers to form thermoplastic elastomers.
