Synthesis of perfluorinated polyethers

A series of highly fluorinated acetylenes was prepared and their cyclization reactions were studied. A series of perfluoropolytriazines with -CF2I pendent groups were prepared. These materials can be cured thermally or photochemically to an elastomeric gum. Perfluoropolytriazines with -CN pendent groups were prepared. These materials can be crosslinked by reaction with terephthalonitrile oxide.

Polyperfluoroalkylene ethers as high-temperature sealants

After a review of some of the literature to point out limitations in fluoroether synthesis, current work is discussed that is designed to alleviate deficiencies in obtaining high molecular weights, and projections on some of the challenges for future work in this area are given. Several mechanisms are diagrammed. The work of Dr. Price is emphasized.
