Fluoride recovery in degradable fluorinated polyesters

Abstract

We report a new class of degradable fluorinated polymers through the copolymerization of tetrafluorophthalic anhydride and propylene oxide or trifluoropropylene oxide which show up to 20 times quicker degradation than the non-fluorinated equivalents and allow for fluoride recovery.
