Controlled radical fluorination of poly(meth)acrylic acids in aqueous solution

Fluorinated alkenes have very poor reactivity in copolymerizations with non-fluorinated polar monomers. Here the authors show silver-catalyzed decarboxylative radical fluorination of poly(acrylic acid) with Selectfluor in water at room temperature to form poly(vinyl fluoride-co-acrylic acid) copolym...
