Effect of Polymerization Conditions on the Content of Globular Fraction in Copolymers of Vinylidene Fluoride and Chlorotrifluoroethylene

Abstract

The molecular structure of vinylidene fluoride and chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymers was studied by the content of globular formations depending on some conditions of the copolymerization process and the ratio of monomers. It was shown that the globular fraction appears in the copolymer as it accumulates in the latex during the copolymerization process. The content of the globular fraction depends slightly on pressure, and depends significantly on the process temperature, the concentration of the emulsifier in the aqueous phase, and the ratio of monomers in the reaction zone.
