Résumé
Radical telomerizations of 3,3,3-trifluropropene involving different X-Y chain transfer agents (CTAs, phosphonated, halogenated) was summarized. The kinetics of telomerization enabled one to assess the transfer constants to the CTAs, while cotelomerization have also shown a great interest. The second part deals with the applications of these functional telomers as potential intermediates for the synthesis of well-architectured fluoropolymers including telechelics, block copolymers, macromonomers, graft copolymers. Various examples are supplied to understand the wide potential of applications of these fluoropolymers and potential non-bioaccumulable surfactants. Then, the controlled radical polymerization (CRP or RDRP) of fluoroalkenes in the presence of various chain transfer agents (1-iodofluoroalkanes or xanthates) is also presented. Industrial applications from CRP of fluoroalkenes will illustrate this book chapter.
