ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for aqueous emulsion co-polymerization of two or more fluoromonomers comprising the steps of: 1) forming an aqueous pre-emulsion by mixing a fluoromonomer according to formula I:in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?F2C═CF—R1—SO2X (I)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?wherein R1is a branched or unbranched perfluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkoxy or perfluoroether group comprising 1–15 carbon atoms and 0–4 oxygen atoms and wherein X is F, Cl or Br, together with 0.001–0.9 molar equivalents of a base, in the absence of added emulsifier; and 2) reacting the pre-emulsion with one or more perfluorinated comonomers in the absence of added emulsifier so as to form a fluoropolymer latex comprising a fluoropolymer wherein more than 1 mol % of monomer units are derived from the fluoromonomer according to formula I. In another aspect, the present invention provides a fluoropolymer derived from the fluoropolymer latex made according to the method of the present invention which is free of added emulsifier. In another aspect, the present invention provides a polymer electrolyte membrane comprising the fluoropolymer made according to the method of the present invention which is free of added emulsifier.
