Abstract:
Chain end functionalized fluoropolymers are disclosed exhibiting good chemical reactivity high breakdown electric field (E>100 MV/m) and high dielectric constants (i. e. , ∈>10). The polymers can be prepared by functional initiators and from a variety of fluoromonomers including vinylidene difluoride together with one or more additional monomers. The polymers can be combined with other dielectric materials to form composites having uniform composition and morphology.
