Synthesis and characterization of innovative well-defined difluorophosphonylated-(co)polymers by RAFT polymerization

Well-defined polymers incorporating difluorophosphonylated moieties in the side-chain and at the chain-end were synthesized by RAFT polymerization. The dealkylation of phosphonate ester groups was achieved in order to target difluorophosphonic acid functionalized polymers.
