Abstract
Bis(trifluoroacetyl) peroxide was prepared in good yield by the reaction be tween trifluoroacetic anhydride and sodium peroxide under anhydrous conditi ons. polymers bearing benzene rings. polystyrene. poly(phenylene oxide) and poly(diphenylacetylene) were modified chemically by the peroxide. The resu lting trifluoromethylated polymers have good solubilities in common organic solvents, and their cast films have good water repellency. The trifluorome thylated poly(diphenylacetylene)s have high gas and vapor permeabilities. ( C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
