Notes:
Two different ways of analyzing the composition of insoluble, partly hydrogenated, partly fluorinated copolymers by NMR are described. The first relies on a quantitative comparison of 1H and 19F free induction decays, as observed in the solid state, with those of reference samples. The second relies on medium resolution spectra which can be achieved, thanks to the large scale of 19F chemical shifts, on softening of the samples at high temperature. A special probe working up to 400°C was built for this purpose. The two methods are in good agreement in the case of vinylidene fluoride (VF2)/tetrafluoroethylene (VF4) copolymers, leading to a determination of the rectivity ratios; the special usefulness of the second method is illustrated by the identification of a third comonomer in VF2/VF4 terpolymers.
