摘要
Two types of low-density polyethylene (LOPE), five types of high-density polyethylene (HOPE), poly(vinyl fluoride) (PVF) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) were studied. The fluorination of LOPE and HOPE is a diffusion-controlled process and proceeds via a branched chain mechanism following an induction period. Initiation of the reaction takes place via the reaction of molecular fluorine with the C-H bond. The rate of fluorination of HOPE exceeds that of LOPE. PVDF cannot be fluorinated even at temperatures as high as 430K and/or under UV irradiation. The kinetics associated with the formation and termination of peroxy RO2center dot and fluorocarbon long-lifetime radicals was studied. It is mainly middle peroxy radicals that are formed at treatment conditions close to those used in industrial processes.
