Abstract

A novel perfluorocyclobutyl aromatic ether-based ABA triblock copolymer (A: polystyrene block; B: perfluorocyclobutyl aromatic ether-based fluoropolymer block) was synthesized by combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene and thermal step- growth cycloaddition polymerization of trifluorovinyl monomer. We first synthesized a new ATRP initiator containing the trifluorovinyl group, which can initiate ATRP of styrene in a ...
