Reaction Steps

A 400-mL pressure vessel was loaded with 100 mL of deionized water. The pressure vessel was then chilled and maintained around -20° C. while further loading with 5 mL of 0.05M HFPO dimer peroxide in 1,1,2,2-tetrafluorocyclobutane, pulling the air off with a vacuum pump, adding 5 g of perfluoropropylvinyl ether, and finally adding 50 g of tetrafluoroethylene. Polymerization set in during warm up, first pressure drop occurring above 20° C. The pressure thereafter dropped, falling to 43 psi three to four hours later at 35° C. The product was washed three times with 200 mL of methanol and once with 200 mL of Freon® 113, filtered, and dried under vacuum, giving 38 g of white powder that analysed for 2.6 weight percent PPVE by IR. Under melt indexer conditions, no melt flow was observed at 372° C. with a 15-kg weight.
