Abstract:

Sodium borohydride/Ziegler-Natta rare earth catalyst reduction system(NaBH4/Ziegler-Natta) was used to reduce liquid terminated-carboxyl fluoroelastomers(LTCFs). LTCFs were efficiently converted to the corresponding liquid terminated-hydroxyl fluoroelastomers(LTHFs) via a simple one-pot method. The reductive rate of LTHFs was analyzed by chemical titration. The structures of LTCFs and LTHFs were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance(1H NMR) spectroscopy and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance(19F NMR) spectrocopy. The results show that —C=C— and carboxyl groups of LTCFs were reduced to —C—C— and —OH efficiently at ambient temperature and the reduction rate reached 90% under optimum reaction conditions.
