In the present invention, term " transformation efficiency " is meant and consumes monomer mass and total ratio that consumes monomer mass.
The present invention intermittently adds initiator in batches but not adds initiator as prior art in batches continuously in the vinylidene polymerization process.Adding number of times decides according to initial add-on.Allow the initiator concentration in the reaction process to have certain fluctuation to make molecular weight distribution unlikely too narrow on the one hand thereby intermittently add initiator in batches, thereby can make and keep initiator concentration to be in making molecular weight distribution unlikely too wide within the scope by adding initiator again on the other hand.
In the present invention, term " in batches intermittently add initiator " is meant initiator is added polymerization system in batches that reinforced method is that moment adds a collection of initiator once when arriving regular hour point (perhaps reaching certain transformation efficiency).

The present invention replaces the method that in batches adds initiator continuously of the prior art with the method that intermittently adds initiator in batches.The present invention has kept prior art to add the advantage of initiator method continuously in batches, promptly makes in the polymerization process by adding initiator that initiator concentration remains in certain scope in the concrete system, thereby makes molecular weight distribution unlikely too wide.
On the other hand, the method that utilization of the present invention intermittently adds initiator in batches makes in the polymerization process that initiator concentration has certain fluctuation in the polymerization system in above-mentioned concentration range, has solved the too narrow defective that is difficult to satisfy some specific end use requirement of molecular weight distribution in the art methods.
The present invention adds the molecular weight of chain-transfer agent with controlling polymers when polyreaction begins, make it to be unlikely excessive, add the initiation reaction of part initiator by the initial stage then, control initiator concentration in the system in the reaction process by adding initiator afterwards, thereby speed of response is kept within the specific limits, and then control final molecular weight distribution.Finally can guarantee to obtain vinylidene fluoride homopolymer unimodal or bimodal, moderate molecular weight distribution or multipolymer under certain weight-average molecular weight condition.
In addition, because the requirement of Application Areas aspect, vinylidene fluoride homopolymer that primary particle size is less or multipolymer have better dissolution with solvents ability.The vinylidene fluoride homopolymer or the multipolymer that make by the present invention are more suitable in film field and electric field.
