Abstract

Polynorbornene dicarboxylic anhydride (PNA)/fluorosilica hybrid coating materials with good hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, transparency, thermal stability, and hardness were synthesised using a sol–gel method. The surface structure, transparency, hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and surface free energy of the coating could be controlled by adjusting the fluorosilane ratio. The maximum static water and oil contact angles of films were 112° and 87°, respectively. The PNA/fluorosilica hybrid films exhibited good transparency and colourlessness. The marks written using water and oil-based pens on the films could be erased with a tissue even after eight times. In addition, the hardness of the hybrid films was enhanced to 4H with increasing fluorosilane content.
