Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for the polymerization of fluoromonomers using non-fluorinated polycaprolactone, and to the fluoropolymers formed thereby. Specifically, the method of the polymerization uses one or more polycaprolactone, or salts thereof.
Claims15
A process for preparing a fluoropolymer in an aqueous reaction medium comprising:
- a) forming an aqueous emulsion comprising at least one radical initiator, at least one polycaprolactone polymer or salt thereof, and at least one fluoromonomer, and
- b) initiating polymerization of said fluoromonomer.
A fluoropolymer composition comprising at least one fluoropolymer and from 0.0001 to 0.2 weight percent—based on the total weight of polymer solids.
