The first phosphazene polymers containing carbon (79), sulfur (80,81), and even metal atoms (82) in the backbone have been reported. These were all prepared by the ring-opening polymerization of partially or fully chloro-substituted (or fluoro-substituted) trimers containing one hetero atom substituting for a ring-phosphoms atom in a cyclotriphosphazene-type ring.

In 1989 Du Pont introduced Teflon AF, said to be a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and trifluoromethyldifluorodioxol. This amorphous fluoro-polymer has a similar heat and chemical resistance to PTFE but possesses several notable properties, including ... 

The first material to be marked, Fluoroprene, was introduced by Du Pont in 1948. A polymer of 2-fluorobuta-1,3-diene it was the fluoro analogue of polyehloroprene. However, its properties were far from outstanding and produetion was soon discontinued. 

FVMQ Silicone rubbers having fluoro and methyl substituent groups on the polymer chain (the fluorosilicones)... 

Fluorosilicones consist of PDMS backbones with some degree of fluoro-aliphatic side chains. The fluorinated group can be trifluoropropyl, nonafluorohexylmethyl, or fluorinated ether side group [78,28,79]. These polymers differ not only in substituent group, but also in the amount of fluoro-substitution relative to PDMS, the overall molecular weight and crosslink density, and the amount of branching. In most commercially available cases, these polymers are addition cure systems and the reactions are those discussed previously for silicone networks. 

However, head addition is usually a very minor pathway and is difficult to determine experimentally. Analysis of the events which follow head addition presents an even more formidable problem. Therefore, there is little experimental data on polymers with which to test the above-mentioned hypothesis. Data for fluoro-olefms indicate that H gives less head addition than T (Section 4.3.1.3). No explanation for the observation was proposed. 

The proportion of head-lo-head linkages in fluoro-olefin polymers also depends on the polymerization temperature6 ) 70 72 7j(T able 4.2). 

Saturated hydrocarbons (waxes), fatty acids, metal soaps, fatty acid amides and esters (primarily Cig-Cis) act as internal lubricants, fluoro elastomers as external lubricants. Many other polymer additives, e.g. antistatic agents, antifogs, antioxidants, UV stabilisers, etc., act as lubricants in the barrel of the extruder once they are in the liquid form. 

The feasibility of bonding pyridinyl groups to silicon which contains a hydrolytically sensitive functional group has recently been demonstrated 15-71. 2-Fluoro-3-(dimethylchlorosilyl)pyridine and 3-fluoro-4-(dimethylchloiosilyl)pyridine as well as 2-, 3-, and 4-(dimethylchlorosilyl)pyridine were prepared by the reaction of the corresponding lithiopyridines with excess Me2SiCl2- Hydrolysis of the pyridinyl substituted chlorosilanes gave disiloxanes which were insoluble in water. In the present report we will describe extension of this work to include pyridinyl dichlorosilanes which can be hydrolyzed to polysiloxanes. These polymers can be N-oxidized and the resultant derivatives have been shown to be effective hydrophobic transacylation catalysts. 

Figure 5 is an ORTEP computer plot of the first 50 backbone carbons in a typical chain. Only the fluorine atoms of the sidechains are shown. The various hard sphere exclusions conspire dramatically to keep the fluorines well separated and the chain highly extended even without introducing any external perturbations. The characteristic ratio from the computer calculations is about 11.6 from data for poly(p-chlorostyrene), CR = I l.l, poly(p-bromostyrene), CR = 12.3, and poly(styrene), CR = 10.3 (all in toluene at 30°C), we expect the experimental value for the fluoro-polymer to be in the range of 10 to 12.
