Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) Copolymerization of Fluoroalkyl Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (F-POSS) Macromers (Postprint).

摘要

Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization techniques were used to copolymerize an F-POSS macromere with methyl methacrylate (MMA) to produce novel copolymers that possess excellent wetting-resistant behaviour and are the first examples of covalently bound F- POSS nanocomposites for improved surface robustness. These F-POSS/MMA copolymers have also been used to coat cotton fabrics, resulting in both superhydrophobic and oleophobic behaviour.
