A brand-new functionalized thermoplastic elastomer with excellent toughness and efficient elastic recovery has been successfully achieved through the direct copolymerization of E and ortho-/meta-/para-fluorostyrene (oFS/mFS/pFS) using the scandium complex. The DFT simulation reveals that the bulky and electron-withdrawing ligand of the catalytic precursor prefers E propagation to generate long E–E segments.

钪催化乙烯和氟苯乙烯共聚直接合成具有优异机械性能的功能性热塑性弹性体

通过使用钪配合物直接共聚E和邻-/间-/对-氟苯乙烯（o FS/ m FS/ p FS），成功获得了一种具有优异韧性和高效弹性恢复的全新功能化热塑性弹性体。DFT 模拟表明，催化前体的庞大且吸电子的配体更喜欢 E 传播以产生长 E-E 段。
