▎ 摘 要
Direct fluorination with gaseous fluorine (F2) is a simple way to prepare fluorine-containing polymers, however, partial hydrolysis of CONH-group during fluorination process often reduces the bulk properties of fluorinated polyurethane (PU). Here, two-dimensional graphene (GE) as barrier layer was introduced into the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix followed by fluorination treatment by F2 gas. The conjugated pi structure of graphene limited excessive fluoridation of the GE/TPU sample, while the large aspect ratio restrained the diffusion and penetration of F2 gas in the bulk. As a result, rich F elements were accumulated on the surface with the slightly-fluorinated bulk. The fluorinated GE/TPU sample integrated the excellent mechanical properties of TPU with friction behaviors of fluorine-containing polymers. The initial friction coefficient was 0.5, 50% lower than the original GE/TPU while maintaining the unchanged mechanical modulus and thermal stability. This research may effectively solve the issue on performance degradation caused by partial hydrolysis of polymer materials con-taining CONH-group during fluorination process, providing a simple and effective surface modification strategy for preparing high-performance fluorine-containing TPU.
