Definitions

  • the present invention relates to new copolymers comprising (per)fluoropolyether chains and functional groups.
  • PFPE polymers have been long known as base oils or as additives in several lubricant applications.
  • US 4,500,739 discloses the reaction of a peroxidic PFPE with - among the others - perfluoro butadiene (Group II of fluoroolefins).
  • Example 4 discloses the reaction with perfluoro butadiene, with a large excess of perfluorinated bis-olefin, resulting in pendant unsaturated groups along the macromolecular chain such that the reaction can further proceed in the presence of hexamethylenediamine.
  • T and T’ are C1.3 perfluoroalkyl or Ci-e alkyl, A and A’ are a perfluoropolyether chain, B derives from two different olefins, of which at least one homopolymerizable by radical route, of formula:
  • R1 to Rs are halogen, H, Ci-e (per)haloalkyl, Ci-e alkyl, Ci-e oxy(per)fluoroalkyl; z is higher than or equal to 2, z’ is an integer and the sum of z and z’ is such that the number average molecular weight of the polymer of formula (I) is in the range 500-500 000;
  • B’ is (la) but at least one of R1 to Rs has a meaning different from that in B.
  • US 6,403,539 discloses perfluoro-polyether polymers containing sulphonyl fluoride groups pending along the backbone.
  • This patent application discloses a process wherein the sulphonyl fluoride-containing monomer is contemporaneously fed with an O2 flow in a liquid reaction medium, thus obtaining perfluoropolyethers containing in the chain peroxidic groups.
  • the presence of the peroxidic groups is not desired for safety concerns.
  • this patent application discloses that to obtain non peroxidic products without chain scission, the peroxidic perfluoropolyethers are subjected to a thermal treatment at temperatures generally in the range from 150°C to 250°C or to a photochemical treatment, optionally in the presence of a solvent.
  • the process herein disclosed - in which the functionalized monomer is added at the beginning of the polymerization - does not allow the synthesis of a polymer having segregated blocks from the functionalized monomer but rather it allows for the synthesis of a PFPE polymer having randomly distributed functional groups.

  • the new functional PFPE copolymers according to the present invention are characterised by an increased thermal stability (as shown in the examples via TGA analysis), which makes them suitable for use in harsh environments and applications.
  • the new PFPE copolymers comprising functional groups are suitable for use as additives in different technical fields, including as anti-rust, anti-wear, to increase compatibility among base oils and thickeners and other ingredients dispersed in such base oils.
  • the functional groups can be further reacted or derivatized to provide further functionalized derivatives.
