Description
1~02638 Our Ref.: ~A-493 (F88-30) NOVEL FLUORINE-CONTAINING CYCLIC POLYMER
This invention relates to a novel fluorine-containing cyclic polymer, and, more particularly, it is concerned with a thermoplastic resinous fluorine-containing cyclic polymer having a particular asymmetrical cyclic structure in the main chain thereof.
With regard to the cyclic polymerization of hydrocarbon-type monomers, there have been done various researches, and a multitude of reports have been known in general, inclusive of three-membered cyclic polyether to large-membered cyclic polyether.
On the other hand, there have been known various fluorine-containing polymers, of which polytetrafluoroethylene and many others are already practically put into industrial use.
However, most of these fluorine-containing polymers contain therein the main chain in straight form based on vinyl monomer such as fluoro-olefin, (meth)acrylate having the fluoro-alkyl group in its side chain, etc.
There is very few example of polymer to be obtained 13026~8 by cyclic polymerization of a fluorine-type monomer, and it has only been known that a compound of a general formula: CF2=CF(CF2)xCF-CF2 (where: x is an integer of from 1 to 3) undergoes the cyclic polymerization by the y-rays (vide: L.A. Waal, Fluoropolymer, Wiley-Science, 4, High Pressure Polymerization, p 127). It has also been known that a compound represented by the following general formula: CF2=CF-CF2-CFCl-CF2CF=CF2 is polymerized to yield a trasparent and highly elastic film which is excellent in its heat-resistance and oxidation-resistance (vide: D. S. Ballantine et at., U.S. Atomic Energy Comission, BNL-296 (T-50) 18, 1954). However, all these polymers do not contain the ether bond in its principal chain, on account of which they can not be said to be necessarily satisfactory in their transparency and flexibility.
Moreover, British patent specification ~o. 1,106,344, United States patent specification No. 3,418,302, and others described fluorine-containing cyclic polymers which contain in the main chain thereof a cyclic structure having the ether bond to be represented by the following general formula:
~CF2 ~CF2-CF-CF-CF2~
-~CF2-CF fF ~ and/or O
CF2_cF
the polymers being produced by polymerization in a thin solution of perfluorodimethylene-bis(perfluorovinyl ether) as the starting material. This cyclic structure in the main chain of the polymer is, however, symmetrical, hence difficulty is accompanied in its synthesis. There is also apprehension such that the polymer is defectively inferior in its solubility and transparency.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a novel fluorine-containing thermoplastic resinous polymer having in the main chain thereof an asymmetrical cyclic structure having the ether bond, which has not been known heretofore.
With a view to solving the above-described problems inherent in the conventional fluorine-containing cyclic polymers, the present invention provides the novel fluorine-containing thermoplastic resinous polymers, as follows:
*a fluorine-containing thermoplastic resinous polymer which consists essentially of a group (a) of repeating units of a cyclic structure to be represented by the following general formula:
-~CF2-CF / CFt- and/or -tCF2-CF-fF-CF2~-OtCF2)n O--~CF2)n 130~638 (where: n is an integer of 1 or 2), said polymer having a molecul~r weight such that the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer become at least 0.1;
*a fluorine-containing thermoplastic resinous polymer which consists essentially of:
i) a group (a) of repeating units to be represented by the following general formula:
/CF2\
~C 2 C\ /CFt- and/or -~CF2-fF-CIF-CF2 t OtC 2)n O--~CF2)n ~where: n is an integer of 1 or 2); and ii) a group ~b) of repeating unit to be represented by the following general formula:
~CF2-CFX 3 ~where: X is selected from fluorine, chlorine, O-C~2CF2CF3, O-CF2CF~CF3)OCF2CF2SO2F~ and O-CF2CF2CF2COOCH3), said polymer containing therein at least 80% by weight of the group (a) of repeating units, and having a molecular weight such that the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer become at least 0.1.
The group ~a) of the repeating units according to the present invention can be obtained by fluorination of a `'130;~638 partially fluorinated vinyl ether, for example, CF2=CF-O-CF2CF2-CH=CH2, after it has been subjected to the cyclic polymerization. Preferably, however, the group (a) of the repeating units can be obtained by subjecting perfluoroallyl vinyl ether (hereinafter abbreviated as "PAVE" ) or perfluorobutenyl vinyl ether (hereinafter abbreviated as "PBVE" ), which is represented by the following general formula:
CF2=CF-0 ( CF2 ) nCF=CF2 (where: n is an integer of 1 or 2) to the radical cyclic polymerization. In more detail, when PAVE is subjected to the radical polymerization, there is obtained the group (a) of the repeating units, wherein n=1, and, when PBVE is subjected to the radical polymerization, there is obtained the group (a) of the repeating units, wherein n=2.
This dicovery is very surprising, because perfluorodiolefin which has so far been known yields a cross-linked polymer in general, while perfluorodimethylene-bis(perfluorovinyl ether), etc.
yields a soluble polymer containing the cyclic structure in its main chain, only when it is polymerized in a thin solution.
PAVE is described in Japanese Patent Publication No.
45619/1985. PBVE can be synthesized by de-chlorination 130~638 of CF2=CF-O-CF2-CF2-CClF-CClF2 with use of zinc.
More surprising is that PAVE and PBVE are copolymerizable at an arbitrary ratio, hence there can be obtained a copolymer having the repeating units of n=l, n=2 at an arbitrary ratio.
The polymer which contains therein the group (a) of these repeating units is a transparent resin and is soluble in a fluorine type solvent such as perfluoro(2-butyltetrahydrofuran). Also, from the measurement of the infrared ray absorption spectrum, there can be recognized no absorption in the vicinity of 1790 cm 1 due to the double bond.
Incidentally, the preferred cyclic structure to be obtained are those five-membered and six-membered ring structures which has less distortion.
Furthermore, perfluorovinyl ether to be represented by the general formula: CF2=CF-O(CF2)nCF=CF2 (where: n is an integer of 1 or 2) is radically copolymerized with a comonomer to be represented by the following general formula: CF2=CFX (where: X is selected from fluorine, - chlorine, O-CF2CF2CF3, O-CF2CF(CF3)OCF2CF2SO2F, and O-CF2CF2CF2COOCH3) to thereby yield a copolymer which consists essentially of:
i) a group (a) of repeating units of the cyclic structure to be represented by the following general formula:
13~;3~
& ~CF2 -fF-CF-CF
O (CF2)n 0--~C2)n (where: n is an integer of 1 or 2); and ii) a group (b) of repeating units to be represented by the following general formula:
-~CF2-CFX~-~where: X is selected from fluorine, chlorine O-CF2CF2CF3, O-CF2CF(CF3)OCF2CF2SO2F, and O-CF2CF2CF2COOCH3 ) .
The comonomer to be represented by the following general formula has already been known:
CF2=CFX
(where: X is selected from fluorine, chlorine, O-CF2CF2CF3, O-CF2CF~CF3)OCF2CF2SO2F~ and O-CF2CF2CF2COOCH3).
In order to obtain a transparent and solvent-soluble polymer, it is preferable that 80~ by weight or more of the group (a) of the repeating units be contained in the polymer. In case the content of this group (a) of the repeating units is less than 80~ by weight, the resin i:~O2638 loses its transparency, solvent-solubility and mechanical strength.
Molecular weight of this polymer should preferably be such that its intrinsic viscosity may become 0.1 or above. When the intrinsic viscosity is below 0.1, the mechanical strength of the resin becomes impractically low.
As the method for polymerization of these polymers, there may be employed the radical polymerization. That is to say, the polymerization method is not at all restricted to any specific one, provided that the polymerization proceeds radically. Examples are those polymerizations, in which use is made of an inorganic radical initiator, light rays, ionizing radiation, or heat. The polymerization method is also not particularly limited, and there may be used the bulk-polymerization, solution-polymerization, suspension-polymerization, and emulsion-polymerization.
Molecular weight of the polymer is controllable depending on polymerization temperature, concentration of the initiator, and so on. A chain transfer agent may also be used.
The polymerization composition of the copolymer can be controlled by the charging ratio of each and every comonomer to be used for the polymerization.
Depending on the kind of comonomers to be used and the rate of polymerization, it is possible to regulate g the properties of the copolymer resin to be obtained, such as solubility, glass transition point r rupture strength, elongation, yield stress, modulus of elasticity, adhesivity to base material, and so forth.
Also, depending on the kind of the comonomer, it is possible to control the polymerization speed during the polymerization.
Use of tetrafluoroethylene for the comonomer makes it possible to lower the glass transition temperature of the resulting copolymer and to increase the polymerization speed. Addition of chlorotrifluoroethylene to the comonomer causes solubility of the copolymer to vary.
Use of CF2=CF-O-CF2CF2CF3 as the comonomer improves elongation of the resulting copolymer. When use is made of CF2=cF-o-cF2cF(cF3)-o-cF2cF2so2F or CF2=CF-O-CF2CF2CF2COOCH3 as the comonomer, adhesivity of the resulting copolymer to the base material would increase. It is of course feasible to use two or more kinds of the comonomers.
The polymer consisting of these groups (a) and (b) of the repeating units is transparent, and soluble in those fluorine type solvents such as perfluoro(2-butyltetrahydrofuran), etc. Also, measurement of the infrared ray absorption spectrum reveals no absorption taken place in the vicinity of 1790 cm l due to the double bond. The composition of the copolymer is determined by the l9F-NMR spectrum ~302638 measurement and the elementary analyses.

The fluorine-containing thermoplastic resinous polymer according to the present invention, containing therein the ether bond in its main chain which has not so far been known, can be readily subjected to press-molding, extrusion-molding, and injection-molding, and, when the polymer is molded into optical parts such as lenses, it exhibits remarkable effect such that the molded article is excellent in its transparency, with added superiority in its chemical-resistant property, electrical insulation, heat-stability, strong acid resistant property, strong alkali resistant property, water-resistant property, moisture-resistant property, and so forth. Further, the polymer according to the present invention possesses high transmiss~bility to the ultraviolet rays, which provides a remarkable effect such that it can substitute various sorts of optical parts i302638 made of quartz glass. Furthermore, since it has high transmissibility to the infrared rays, it can be effectively empolyed for various sorts of infrared ray sensors. Also, the polymer according to the present invention has a low refractive index, in account of which it exhibits an effect such that, when this polymer is prepared into a solution and coated on the surface of the optical parts such as lenses, the light reflection can be reduced. Moreover, the resinous polymer according to the present invention is recognized to be effectively and suitably applicable as the cladding materiai for the optical fibers, material for opto-magnetic discs, p~otective membranes for the solar batteries, gas-separating membranes, protective films for transparent resins such as acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, and diethylene glycol-bis-(allylcarbonate) resin, etc., and treatment agent for textile materials.
This invention relates to a novel fluorine-containing cyclic polymer, and, more particularly, it is concerned with a thermoplastic resinous fluorine-containing cyclic polymer having a particular asymmetrical cyclic structure in the main chain thereof.
With regard to the cyclic polymerization of hydrocarbon-type monomers, there have been done various researches, and a multitude of reports have been known in general, inclusive of three-membered cyclic polyether to large-membered cyclic polyether.
On the other hand, there have been known various fluorine-containing polymers, of which polytetrafluoroethylene and many others are already practically put into industrial use.
However, most of these fluorine-containing polymers contain therein the main chain in straight form based on vinyl monomer such as fluoro-olefin, (meth)acrylate having the fluoro-alkyl group in its side chain, etc.
There is very few example of polymer to be obtained 13026~8 by cyclic polymerization of a fluorine-type monomer, and it has only been known that a compound of a general formula: CF2=CF(CF2)xCF-CF2 (where: x is an integer of from 1 to 3) undergoes the cyclic polymerization by the y-rays (vide: L.A. Waal, Fluoropolymer, Wiley-Science, 4, High Pressure Polymerization, p 127). It has also been known that a compound represented by the following general formula: CF2=CF-CF2-CFCl-CF2CF=CF2 is polymerized to yield a trasparent and highly elastic film which is excellent in its heat-resistance and oxidation-resistance (vide: D. S. Ballantine et at., U.S. Atomic Energy Comission, BNL-296 (T-50) 18, 1954). However, all these polymers do not contain the ether bond in its principal chain, on account of which they can not be said to be necessarily satisfactory in their transparency and flexibility.
Moreover, British patent specification ~o. 1,106,344, United States patent specification No. 3,418,302, and others described fluorine-containing cyclic polymers which contain in the main chain thereof a cyclic structure having the ether bond to be represented by the following general formula:
~CF2 ~CF2-CF-CF-CF2~
-~CF2-CF fF ~ and/or O
CF2_cF
the polymers being produced by polymerization in a thin solution of perfluorodimethylene-bis(perfluorovinyl ether) as the starting material. This cyclic structure in the main chain of the polymer is, however, symmetrical, hence difficulty is accompanied in its synthesis. There is also apprehension such that the polymer is defectively inferior in its solubility and transparency.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a novel fluorine-containing thermoplastic resinous polymer having in the main chain thereof an asymmetrical cyclic structure having the ether bond, which has not been known heretofore.
With a view to solving the above-described problems inherent in the conventional fluorine-containing cyclic polymers, the present invention provides the novel fluorine-containing thermoplastic resinous polymers, as follows:
*a fluorine-containing thermoplastic resinous polymer which consists essentially of a group (a) of repeating units of a cyclic structure to be represented by the following general formula:
-~CF2-CF / CFt- and/or -tCF2-CF-fF-CF2~-OtCF2)n O--~CF2)n 130~638 (where: n is an integer of 1 or 2), said polymer having a molecul~r weight such that the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer become at least 0.1;
*a fluorine-containing thermoplastic resinous polymer which consists essentially of:
i) a group (a) of repeating units to be represented by the following general formula:
/CF2\
~C 2 C\ /CFt- and/or -~CF2-fF-CIF-CF2 t OtC 2)n O--~CF2)n ~where: n is an integer of 1 or 2); and ii) a group ~b) of repeating unit to be represented by the following general formula:
~CF2-CFX 3 ~where: X is selected from fluorine, chlorine, O-C~2CF2CF3, O-CF2CF~CF3)OCF2CF2SO2F~ and O-CF2CF2CF2COOCH3), said polymer containing therein at least 80% by weight of the group (a) of repeating units, and having a molecular weight such that the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer become at least 0.1.
The group ~a) of the repeating units according to the present invention can be obtained by fluorination of a `'130;~638 partially fluorinated vinyl ether, for example, CF2=CF-O-CF2CF2-CH=CH2, after it has been subjected to the cyclic polymerization. Preferably, however, the group (a) of the repeating units can be obtained by subjecting perfluoroallyl vinyl ether (hereinafter abbreviated as "PAVE" ) or perfluorobutenyl vinyl ether (hereinafter abbreviated as "PBVE" ), which is represented by the following general formula:
CF2=CF-0 ( CF2 ) nCF=CF2 (where: n is an integer of 1 or 2) to the radical cyclic polymerization. In more detail, when PAVE is subjected to the radical polymerization, there is obtained the group (a) of the repeating units, wherein n=1, and, when PBVE is subjected to the radical polymerization, there is obtained the group (a) of the repeating units, wherein n=2.
This dicovery is very surprising, because perfluorodiolefin which has so far been known yields a cross-linked polymer in general, while perfluorodimethylene-bis(perfluorovinyl ether), etc.
yields a soluble polymer containing the cyclic structure in its main chain, only when it is polymerized in a thin solution.
PAVE is described in Japanese Patent Publication No.
45619/1985. PBVE can be synthesized by de-chlorination 130~638 of CF2=CF-O-CF2-CF2-CClF-CClF2 with use of zinc.
More surprising is that PAVE and PBVE are copolymerizable at an arbitrary ratio, hence there can be obtained a copolymer having the repeating units of n=l, n=2 at an arbitrary ratio.
The polymer which contains therein the group (a) of these repeating units is a transparent resin and is soluble in a fluorine type solvent such as perfluoro(2-butyltetrahydrofuran). Also, from the measurement of the infrared ray absorption spectrum, there can be recognized no absorption in the vicinity of 1790 cm 1 due to the double bond.
Incidentally, the preferred cyclic structure to be obtained are those five-membered and six-membered ring structures which has less distortion.
Furthermore, perfluorovinyl ether to be represented by the general formula: CF2=CF-O(CF2)nCF=CF2 (where: n is an integer of 1 or 2) is radically copolymerized with a comonomer to be represented by the following general formula: CF2=CFX (where: X is selected from fluorine, - chlorine, O-CF2CF2CF3, O-CF2CF(CF3)OCF2CF2SO2F, and O-CF2CF2CF2COOCH3) to thereby yield a copolymer which consists essentially of:
i) a group (a) of repeating units of the cyclic structure to be represented by the following general formula:
13~;3~
& ~CF2 -fF-CF-CF
O (CF2)n 0--~C2)n (where: n is an integer of 1 or 2); and ii) a group (b) of repeating units to be represented by the following general formula:
-~CF2-CFX~-~where: X is selected from fluorine, chlorine O-CF2CF2CF3, O-CF2CF(CF3)OCF2CF2SO2F, and O-CF2CF2CF2COOCH3 ) .
The comonomer to be represented by the following general formula has already been known:
CF2=CFX
(where: X is selected from fluorine, chlorine, O-CF2CF2CF3, O-CF2CF~CF3)OCF2CF2SO2F~ and O-CF2CF2CF2COOCH3).
In order to obtain a transparent and solvent-soluble polymer, it is preferable that 80~ by weight or more of the group (a) of the repeating units be contained in the polymer. In case the content of this group (a) of the repeating units is less than 80~ by weight, the resin i:~O2638 loses its transparency, solvent-solubility and mechanical strength.
Molecular weight of this polymer should preferably be such that its intrinsic viscosity may become 0.1 or above. When the intrinsic viscosity is below 0.1, the mechanical strength of the resin becomes impractically low.
As the method for polymerization of these polymers, there may be employed the radical polymerization. That is to say, the polymerization method is not at all restricted to any specific one, provided that the polymerization proceeds radically. Examples are those polymerizations, in which use is made of an inorganic radical initiator, light rays, ionizing radiation, or heat. The polymerization method is also not particularly limited, and there may be used the bulk-polymerization, solution-polymerization, suspension-polymerization, and emulsion-polymerization.
Molecular weight of the polymer is controllable depending on polymerization temperature, concentration of the initiator, and so on. A chain transfer agent may also be used.
The polymerization composition of the copolymer can be controlled by the charging ratio of each and every comonomer to be used for the polymerization.
Depending on the kind of comonomers to be used and the rate of polymerization, it is possible to regulate g the properties of the copolymer resin to be obtained, such as solubility, glass transition point r rupture strength, elongation, yield stress, modulus of elasticity, adhesivity to base material, and so forth.
Also, depending on the kind of the comonomer, it is possible to control the polymerization speed during the polymerization.
Use of tetrafluoroethylene for the comonomer makes it possible to lower the glass transition temperature of the resulting copolymer and to increase the polymerization speed. Addition of chlorotrifluoroethylene to the comonomer causes solubility of the copolymer to vary.
Use of CF2=CF-O-CF2CF2CF3 as the comonomer improves elongation of the resulting copolymer. When use is made of CF2=cF-o-cF2cF(cF3)-o-cF2cF2so2F or CF2=CF-O-CF2CF2CF2COOCH3 as the comonomer, adhesivity of the resulting copolymer to the base material would increase. It is of course feasible to use two or more kinds of the comonomers.
