Radical polyaddition of bis(alpha-trifluoromethyl-beta,beta-difluorovinyl) terephthalate [CF2=C(CF3)OCOC6H4COOC(CF3)=CF2] (BFP) with silsesquioxanes was investigated in order to produce a polymer possessing silsesquioxane moiety in polymer main chain. 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15-octakis(dimethylsilyloxy)pentacyclo[9.5.1.1(3,9).1(5,15).17,13]octasiloxane (T8S) with BFP successfully afforded a polymer bearing a molecular weight of about 2.5 x 10(5). The polymer obtained were soluble in usual organic solvent such as methanol, tetrahydrofuran and chloroform. In order to get some information on the polyaddition reaction mechanism, model reactions of 2-benzoxypentafluoropropene [CF2=C(CF3)O-)OCOC6H5] (BPFP) with dimethylphenylsilane, [(CH3)(2)SiHC6H5], BPFP with 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane [(CH3)(2)SiH](20)}, and BFP with dimethylphenylsilane were carried out. The mechanism that the radical abstracts a hydrogen from silane compounds followed by the addition of perfluorcrisopropenyl groups was proposed. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
