New perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPAE) monomers, chain extended with different alkyl groups and functionalized with vinyl ether or epoxide end-groups, were employed, together with trimethylolpropane trivinyl ether or trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether, to produce fluorinated copolymers. The photoinduced cationic polymerization was investigated, and the PFPAE-based copolymer properties were thoroughly characterized. Interesting surface properties and two different values of refractive index were observed: thus, these fluorinated copolymers can be suitable materials for the manufacture of self-cleaning coatings and optical waveguides.

乙烯基醚和环氧化物与全氟聚烷基醚单体的光致共聚

使用新的全氟聚烷基醚 (PPFAE) 单体，用不同的烷基进行链延伸并用乙烯基醚或环氧化物端基官能化，与三羟甲基丙烷三乙烯基醚或三羟甲基丙烷三缩水甘油醚一起用于生产氟化共聚物。研究了光致阳离子聚合，并彻底表征了基于 PFPAE 的共聚物性能。观察到有趣的表面特性和两个不同的折射率值：因此，这些氟化共聚物可以成为制造自清洁涂层和光波导的合适材料。
