Synthesis and application of fluorine containing graftcopolymers

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Well-defined graftcopolymers were prepared by radical copolymerization of methyl methacrylate macromonomer with perfluoroalkyl acrylate. Contact angle of the solvent cast films of poly(methyl methacrylate) containing various amount of the graftcopolymer was measured against water droplet. Addition of 0.2 wt% of the graftcopolymer was sufficient to improve the polymer films to water repellent surfaces, while 10 wt% was necessary to modify the polymer surfaces to the same level of water repellency.
