Perfluoropolyethers free from peroxidic oxygen and containing perfluoroepoxy groups positioned along their perfluoropolyether chain.

摘要

Perfluoropolyethers having fluorinated epoxy groups positioned along their perfluoropolyether chain, and free from peroxidic oxygen, are obtained by means of a low-temperature oxidation process, in the liquid phase, with molecular oxygen and in the presence of U.V. light, of a mixture of a perfluorinated monoolefin and a perfluorinated conjugated diene, and by the subsequent photochemical decomposition of the peroxy groups contained in the photooxidation product, carried out by treating the peroxy-groups containing product with U.V. light at a temperature of from 0 DEG C to 160 DEG C. Derivatives of said epoxy containing perfluoropolyethers in which the epoxy groups have been converted to functional groups are also disclosed.
