Radiation synthesis of tetrafluoroethylene telomers in chlorosilanes and their use for modification of aluminoborosilicate glass fabric

Abstract

The kinetics of radiation-initiated telomerization of tetrafluoroethylene in dichlorodimethylsilane and chlorotrimethylsilane have been studied, and the molecular structure and properties of the telomers have been revealed. It has been shown that the introduction of ~3.5 wt % product telomer into aluminoborosilicate glass fabric gives a fluorinated glass-reinforced polymer material with good hydrophobicity.
