CHAPTER 1

Industrial Aspects of Fluorinated Oligomers and Polymers

RUDY DAMS AND KLAUS HINTZER


1.1 Introduction

In the early 1930s, researchers of IG-Farbenindustrie in Frankfurt (Germany) studied systematically the first polymerizations of fluoroethenes; the Hoechst researchers had already prepared polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), including copolymers, recognizing the outstanding properties of these polymers. The first patent application for a fluoropolymer was filed in October 1934 by Schloffer and Scherer. PTFE was also discovered in 1938 in the USA by Plunkett of E. I. DuPont de Nemours while investigating fluorinated refrigerants. The unique properties of PTFE were recognized during the Manhattan Project, where there was an urgent need for a material that would withstand the highly corrosive environment during the process of separating the isotopes of UF for the first atomic bomb. PTFE apparently fulfilled all the needs, spurring the development of processing and production methods for this unique polymer. In 1946, PTFE was commercialized by E. I. DuPont de Nemours under the trade name Teflon.

The unique properties of fluoropolymers are due to the fact that the polymer backbone is formed by strong carbon-carbon bonds (C-C ~ 340 kJ mol-1) and extremely stable carbon-fluorine bonds (C-F ~490 kJ mol-1; for comparison, C-H ~420 kJ mol-1). Substitution of fluorine for hydrogen in a material improves three key physical properties:

• increased service temperatures and reduced flammability;

• low surface energy, providing non-stick properties/anti-adhesiveness, low coefficient of friction, self-lubricating effects and lower solubility in hydrocarbons;

• excellent electrical and optical properties resulting in low high-frequency-loss rates and low refractive indices.

PTFE, PCTFE and all other fluoropolymers (see Table 1.2) gained immediate acceptance during commercialization in the various markets.

During the following decades, many fluoropolymers, including fluorothermoplastics and fluoroelastomers, were developed. The worldwide annual sales volume of fluoropolymers is today more than 230 000 tonnes (world consumption of fluoroplastics in 2012 was ~ 216 000 tonnes; world consumption of fluoroelastomers in 2009 was ~ 20 000 tonnes). The total market value is more than US$6 billion.

In contrast to the higher molecular weight polymers, oligomers are characterized by a low number of repeating units, usually less than 50, and a low molecular weight, often not higher than 20 000 Da (as measured by gel permeation chromatography).

Many synthetic routes to oligomers have been described, including radical oligomerization, oligocondensation, ionic oligomerization and ring-opening reactions. Telomerization is an oligomerization by a chain-transfer reaction, carried out in the presence of a large amount of chain-transfer agent, so that end-groups are essentially fragments of the chain-transfer agent. In Sections 1.2 and 1.3, some of the results of the research and development work carried out at 3M using functionalized fluorinated oligomers are discussed.


1.2 Fluorinated Monomers and Building Blocks

1.2.1 Fluorinated Monomers

All industrial routes for the synthesis of the five major C2/C3 fluoromonomers are based on chlorination/fluorination of C1/C2 hydrocarbons, mostly including a de(hydro)chlorination step at high temperature (Scheme 1.1).

Some of these manufacturing processes are fairly energy consuming (e.g. the preparation of 1 ton of TFE requires >10 000 kWh). Also, special care has to be taken in producing and handling TFE owing to its tendency to self-decompose into carbon and tetrafluoromethane. In Table 1.1 an overview of monomers to produce fluoropolymers is given.

A key-intermediate in the preparation of vinyl ethers and their oligomers is hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO). HFPO is...
