Compositional and Microstructural Analysis of Tetrafluoroethylene Copolymers by Molten-State 19F-NMR

An analytical method of commercial tetrafluoroethylene copolymer was investigated by high-field magnetic 19F-NMR (376.4 MHz) in their molten state at high temperatures, since the resins were hardly soluble in any solvent. Measuring conditions were optimized; the probe temperature was set to about 20...

Summary:An analytical method of commercial tetrafluoroethylene copolymer was investigated by high-field magnetic 19F-NMR (376.4 MHz) in their molten state at high temperatures, since the resins were hardly soluble in any solvent. Measuring conditions were optimized; the probe temperature was set to about 20°C higher than the melting point of the resin and rod form was preferable to powdered form. In tetrafluoroethylene-heptafluoropropyl trifluorovinyl ether and tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropy lene copolymers, identification of 1.5 mol% of comonomers were possible. Termonomers of three kinds of ethylene-teterafluoroethylene copolymers were assigned by the proposed method and the microstruc ture of the resins were discussed. The ethylene-ethylene sequence was directly confirmed by moltenstate 1H-NMR.
