Abstract
An inimer, and process for making same, having the following formula: wherein X=halogen, nitroxide, thioester; R═H or CH3; and R′=aliphatic, non-aliphatic, linear or branched, mesogenic, non mesogenic, chiral, achiral, hydrocarbon, non-hydrocarbon, selected from fluorocarbon, oligo(oxyethylene) and siloxane substituents, alkyl, aryl, mesogenic group, non-mesogenic group, aliphatic, non-aliphatic, siloxane, perfluoroalkyl, perfluoroaryl, or other fluorocarbon group, and polymers, and the process of making them, from the inimer.
Claims4
An inimer having the following formula
- wherein X is a halogen;
- R is selected from the group consisting of H and CH3;
- and R′ is selected from the group consisting of a non-hydrocarbon and a hydrocarbon,
- wherein the hydrocarbon can be a linear or branched hydrocarbon or aromatic, and
- wherein the non-hydrocarbon is selected from the group consisting of a fluorocarbon and (oligo)oxyethylene and siloxane substituents.
