(a)The PTFE percentage in the core-shell samples was estimated from the amount of feed PTFE and MMA assuming quantitative MMA conversion, absence of residual PTFE seeds, and no PMMA particle formation. (b)The amount of PTFE was estimated from the melting enthalpy of the PTFE component (endothermic peak at 325°C) considering that the melting enthalpy of the BP44 sample is 46.05 J g−1 (first DSC heating curve). (c)First DSC heating curve at 20°/min. |
