Chain Structure and Dynamic Mechanical Property of the Vinylidenefluoride and Chlorotrifluoroethylene Copolymers
A series of vinylidenefluoride (VDF) and chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) copolymers were prepared by radical copolymerization, the chain elements structures of the copolymers were gain with the elemental analysis, and the crystal regions with X-ray diffraction spectrum. The effect of chain elements structure on the crystallinity and dynamic mechanical properties was discussed with the DMA analysis. The result shows: the increasing of the CTFE content decreases the chain elements structure of VDF-VDF, the random distribution of VDF-CTFE structure has a great effect on the crystallization properties and the dynamic mechanical properties. The increasing of CTFE content improves the storage modulus and the damping of copolymers in the amorphous copolymers, while the distribution of chain segments’ length gets narrower.
