Abstract
Oligomers of hexafluoropropylene oxide are raw materials for the synthesis of compounds having unique properties such as high chemical and thermal resistance. Two basic parameters have influence on the process of hexafluoropropylene oxide oligomerization: the kind of the catalyst and the solvent. The temperature and pressure influence this process to a lesser extent. The influence of halide ions, the solvent and the temperature on the oligomerization of hexafluoropropylene oxide has been studied.
