Novel fluoroacrylated copolymers: synthesis, characterization and properties

The copolymers synthesized were characterized by 1H, 19F and 13C NMR as well as FT-IR spectroscopies and have good thermal stability (Td > 200 °C). The refractive indeces of hydroxy functionalized fluorooligomers and acrylated resins were found to range from 1.44 to 1.45 at 23 °C and the Tgs (by DSC) varied from 40 to 110 °C depending on the content of the cyclic monomer. The optical characteristics of these thermoplastic fluoroacrylated copolymers are under progress.
