Abstract

Correction for ‘Synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters of perfluoropolyalkylethers (PFPAEs) based on hexafluoropropylene oxide units for photopolymerization’ by Céline Bonneaud et al., RSC Adv., 2018, 8, 32664–32671.


The authors regret that a consistent structure error appears in Schemes 4–6 and the graphical abstract of the original article. The definition shown for RF is incorrect, and the correct definition is RF = –CF(CF3)(OCF2CF(CF3))nOCF2CF2CF3. The correct versions of Schemes 4–6 are shown below, and the graphical abstract has been updated in the online version of the original article.
