The extensive scientific and industrial applications of fluorinated polymers are motivated by the need for thermally, mechanically, and chemically stable materials. Herein, a perfluoropyridine (PFPy)-based monomer was synthesized and employed in the preparation of fluorinated polymers. To understand and quality the impact of chemical composition, networks of fluorinated monomers were copolymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) to produce a range of copolymers that vary by structure. These copolymers were prepared using RAFT polymerization techniques and characterized using TGA, DSC, GPC, FT-IR spectroscopy, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.
