Abstract
Abstract To address the challenges associated with the difficult recycling of fluorinated specialty materials and the subpar performance of recycled products, a molecular reconstruction strategy of oxidative degradation, fluorination addition is reported, and end‐group transformation, which upcycled waste fluororubber into high‐performance, chemically awakenable amino‐terminated low‐molecular‐weight fluoropolymer (ATLF‐Boc). Leveraging the chemical properties of the vinylidene fluoride structure in the waste fluororubber, carboxyl‐terminated low‐molecular‐weight fluoropolymer (CTLF) with controlled molecular weight and end‐group content are synthesized. Further, the whole chain is structurally strengthened at…
