Synthesis and Characterization of Novel UV-curable Fluorinated Polyurethane-acrylate Copolymer

A series of UV-curable fluorinated polyurethane-acrylate(PUA) has been developed by incorporating octafluoropentyl alcohol into the segment of UV-curable polyurethane-acrylate to improve the thermal property and surface property of the copolymer material. The structures of the synthesized polymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectrometry. In order to find out the effect of incorporated fluorine on the UV-cured films, the properties of the UV-cured films were tested through contact angle, water absorption, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The fractured-surface morphologies of the UV-cured coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). With increasing the content of fluorine segments, the contact angle of the UV-cured films increased and the water absorption decreased, suggesting the fluorine segments migrated and formed a fluorine-covered surface to avoid water penetration. The observation of the fractured-surface morphology through SEM test showed that the fluorinated UV-cured films gained rough fractured-surface compared with the pure UV-cured polyacrylate film, demonstrating the migrating of the fluorine segments. The TGA curves show that the fluorinated UV-cured films gained higher thermal degradation temperature than the virgin UV-cured polyacrylate film. And as increasing the fluorine content, the thermal degradation temperature increased. These phenomena could be reasonably explained by the enrichment of fluorinecontained segment on the surface of the film and the high thermal property due to fluorine atom.     

Structure and surface properties of fluorinated organic–inorganic hybrid films

Fluorinated organic–inorganic hybrid films were prepared by sol–gel process from tridecafluoroctyltriethoxysilane (PFAS), 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). It has been found that the fluorinated hybrid films possessed fluorinated side chains originating from PFAS as top layer, and silica network as bottom layer, which had very low surface energy and could be used as water repellent functional coatings. The outermost layer of the water-repellent film may be fully covered by the perfluoroalkyl side chains as the molar ratio of PFAS/TEOS increases up to about 0.005:1. The addition of BPA can enhance the cross-link density of fluorinated hybrid films, and make more perfluoroalkyl groups enriching at the coating film-air interface to lower the surface free energy. However, the improvement of the cross-link density of fluorinated hybrid films tends to exhibit brittleness and micro-cracks. Consequently, it can be concluded that a small BPA additive content is preferred for the formation of fluorinated hybrid films with a smooth surface and less detectable cracks.     

Photochemical modification of diamond films: introduction of perfluorooctyl functional groups on their surface

Photolysis of perfluoroazooctane with diamond films led the chemical modification of the surface to introduce perfluorooctyl functional groups, confirmed by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements. Diamond films modified with fluorine moieties showed improved frictional property and reduction of surface energy, as evaluated by contact angle to water, compared with a pristine diamond film. The contact angle and friction coefficient of chemically modified diamond film are 118 degrees and 0.1, respectively. The results of the value of the contact angle depending on irradiation times are consistent with those of the F/C ratio of fluorinated diamond films by monitoring with XPS.     

Preparation and applications of novel fluoroalkyl end-capped oligomers/calcium carbonate nanocomposites

Calcium chloride reacted with sodium carbonate in the presence of a variety of self-assembled molecular aggregates formed by fluoroalkyl end-capped acrylic acid, 2-methacryloyloxyethane sulfonic acid, dimethylacrylamide, and acryloylmorpholine oligomers in aqueous solutions to afford the corresponding fluorinated oligomers/calcium carbonate composites in excellent to moderate isolated yields. These fluorinated calcium carbonate composites thus obtained were shown to have a good dispersibility not only in water but also in traditional organic media including fluorinated solvents. Dynamic light scattering measurements (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that these fluorinated composites are nanometer-size-controlled particles and well dispersed in these media. Cross-linked fluoroalkyl end-capped acrylic acid co-oligomer containing poly(oxyethylene) units was also applied to the preparation of new cross-linked fluorinated calcium carbonate nanocomposites under similar conditions. The obtained cross-linked fluorinated calcium carbonate nanocomposites were found to have an extremely higher dispersibility in aqueous and organic media including fluorinated solvents, compared to that of the corresponding fluoroalkyl end-capped oligomer nanocomposites. In particular, it was verified that these fluorinated calcium carbonate nanocomposites are applicable to the dispersion above poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film surface. Interestingly, field-emission SEM (FE-SEM) images of the cross-section of the modified PMMA films showed that calcium carbonate particles dispersed into these PMMA films could be arranged regularly above the modified film surface. More interestingly, cross-linked fluorinated oligomeric aggregates were able to provide suitable host moieties for the crystallization of calcium carbonate.

Comparative study between core-shell and interpenetrating network structure polyurethane/polyacrylate composite emulsions

Anionic aqueous polyurethane dispersion was prepared by using carboxyl acid group to make the polyurethane dispersible, and then nanograde core-shell and crosslinked IPN structure polyurethane/polyacrylate composite latex (PUA) were synthesized by soap-free emulsion polymerization method with polyurethane dispersion as seed. FTIR, DSC, dynamic light scattering, TEM, ESCA, TGA, electronic tensile machine were employed to investigate the structures and properties of the composite latex and their polymers. Meanwhile the core-shell composite PUA emulsion and the crosslinked IPN composite PUA emulsion were compared. The results showed that the particle morphology of PUA composite emulsion is inverted core-shell structure with polyacrylate as the core and with polyurethane as the shell. The morphology of the crosslinked PUA emulsion was multi-core structure. The surface in core-shell PUA contains rich PU phase. The phase structure of the crosslinked PUA is more uniform. Three transition temperatures are observed for the core-shell composite PUA, two transitions are observed for the film from the crosslinked PUA. The TGA curves of core-shell PUA and crosslinked PUA exhibit two stages, the first stage corresponds to the thermal decomposition of hard segments in seed polyurethane; the second stage corresponds to the decomposition of soft segments in PUA and decomposition of polyacrylate. With the increase of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) amounts in PUA composite emulsions, the tensile strength of the PUA films as well as the average diameter of the PUA composite emulsion particles increase, the elongation at break of the PUA films decreases.

Solvent effect on the film formation and the stability of the surface properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) end-capped with fluorinated units

The surface structure and stability (the resistance to surface reconstruction) of end-capped poly(methyl methacrylate) films were greatly affected by the solvents used for film preparation. Films of end-capped PMMA with about four 2-perfluorooctylethyl methacrylate units cast with benzotrifluoride solution exhibited excellent stability and resistance to polar environments compared with those cast with cyclohexanone and toluene solutions. The observed difference in stability between these fluorinated surfaces is attributed to their surface microstructures formed during the film formation processes, which are closely related to the associative behavior of the end-capped PMMA in the solution. A relatively perfect close-packed and well-ordered structure of the perfluoroalkyl side chains at the surface of the PMMA(857)-ec-FMA(3.3) film was formed when the film was cast with benzotrifluoride solution, in which only unimers existed. This study indicates that such a solvent effect may be used to promote the formation of a well-ordered packing structure of the fluorinated moieties at the film surface. The ordering of the packing structure is to a certain extent more important than the content of the fluorinated moieties at the surface for improving the surface stability.

Fluorinated modification of hyperbranched polyesters used for improving the surface property of UV curing coatings

The commercial hyperbranched aliphatic polyols (Hn) were modified by thioglycolic acid (TA) and hexafluorobutyl acrylate (HFBA) or dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFHMA) to prepare a series of fluorinated hyperbranched polyesters. For comparison, a linear fluorinated polymer, poly(n-BMA-co-DFHMA), was synthesized through the copolymerization of n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) and DFHMA. The molecular structures were characterized by ¹H NMR spectroscopic analysis. The synthesized polymers were incorporated into UV-curable formulations as additives, and exposed to a UV lamp. After UV curing, the wettability of the films was investigated by contact angle measurement with water and 1-bromonaphthalene. The results showed that both the hydrophobicity and oleophobicity were greatly enhanced. Moreover, the fluorinated hyperbranched polymers possessed better water and oil repellency than the copolymer poly(n-BMA-co-DFHMA) at a very low concentration. The surface F/C ratio values of the cured films were detected by XPS analysis, and the film with TAH20-DFHMA showed the highest F/C ratio value, indicating its most efficient aggregation effect at the film surface.     

Preparation of Super-Water-Repellent Fluorinated Inorganic-Organic Coating Films on Nylon 66 by the Sol-Gel Method Using Microphase Separation

We have prepared super-water-repellent fluorinated inorganic-organic coating films on nylon 66 substrate from poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), and 2-perfluorooctylethyltriethoxysilane (17F) by the sol-gel method. The contact angle for water of the film was 149°. The fluorinated inorganic-organic film including PMMA particles exhibits the super-water-repellence on nylon 66 and the high ultrasonics-resistance in spite of the low 17F content of the molar ratio of 0.001 per mol of TEOS. The surfaces of the films were characterized by using XPS and SEM in combination with the surface roughness data. It was considered that the fluorinated component was segregated to form separated microphase regions, appropriate surface roughness being resulted to develop high water-repellence.     

Wetting kinetics of oil mixtures on fluorinated model cellulose surfaces

The wetting of two different model cellulose surfaces has been studied; a regenerated cellulose (RG) surface prepared by spin-coating, and a novel multilayer film of poly(ethyleneimine) and a carboxymethylated microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). The cellulose films were characterized in detail using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). AFM indicates smooth and continuous films on a nanometer scale and the RMS roughness of the RG cellulose and MFC surfaces was determined to be 3 and 6 nm, respectively. The cellulose films were modified by coating with various amounts of an anionic fluorosurfactant, perfluorooctadecanoic acid, or covalently modified with pentadecafluorooctanyl chloride. The fluorinated cellulose films were used to follow the spreading mechanisms of three different oil mixtures. The viscosity and surface tension of the oils were found to be essential parameters governing the spreading kinetics on these surfaces. XPS and dispersive surface energy measurements were made on the cellulose films coated with perfluorooctadecanoic acid. A strong correlation was found between the surface concentration of fluorine, the dispersive surface energy and the contact angle of castor oil on the surface. A dispersive surface energy less than 18 mN/m was required in order for the cellulose surface to be non-wetting (theta e>90 degrees ) by castor oil.     

The suspension�Cemulsion combined polymerization of fluorinated acrylic monomer and the fluorinated latex film surface properties

The perfluoroacrylate-containing copolymer composite particles were fabricated by suspension?Cemulsion combined polymerization (SECP). The features and formation mechanism of resulting polymer particles in SECP were studied. The fluorinated latexes with better stability and those fluorinated films with high surface fluorine content were prepared by SECP using fluorine-free surfactants as an emulsifying agent, and the surface natures of the fluorinated films were characterized. It was found that P(MMA?CBA) latex particles gradually coagulated with P(PFA?CBA) particles after adding emulsion polymerization constituents at the midstage of the suspension polymerization, and fluorinated composite particles with core?Cshell structure and larger size were obtained. The fluorine contents either on the film surface or in the bulk of the film and the films from SECP are higher than those from miniemulsion polymerization at high PFA feed ratio (more than 20?wt.%). The model of PFA?CMMA?CBA SECP was proposed according to the variations of particle features of the composite particles.     

Preparation and applications of a variety of fluoroalkyl end-capped oligomer/hydroxyapatite composites

A variety of fluoroalkyl end-capped oligomers were applied to the preparation of fluorinated oligomer/hydroxyapatite (HAp) composites (particle size: 38-356 nm), which exhibit a good dispersibility in water and traditional organic solvents. These fluoroalkyl end-capped oligomer/HAp composites were easily prepared by the reactions of disodium hydrogen phosphate and calcium chloride in the presence of self-assembled molecular aggregates formed by fluoroalkyl end-capped oligomers in aqueous solutions. In these fluorinated HAp composites thus obtained, fluoroalkyl end-capped acrylic acid oligomers and 2-methacryloyloxyethanesulfonic acid oligomer/HAp nanocomposites afforded transparent colorless solutions toward water; however, fluoroalkyl end-capped N,N-dimethylacrylamide oligomer and acryloylmorpholine oligomer were found to afford transparent colorless solutions with trace amounts of white-colored HAp precipitants under similar conditions. HAp could be encapsulated more effectively into fluorinated 2-methacryloyloxyethanesulfonic acid oligomeric aggregate cores to afford colloidal stable fluorinated oligomer/HAp composites, compared to that of fluorinated acrylic acid oligomers. These fluorinated oligomer/HAp composites were applied to the surface modification of glass and PVA to exhibit a good oleophobicity imparted by fluorine. HAp formation was newly observed on the modified polyethylene terephthalate film surface treated with fluorinated 2-methacryloyloxyethanesulfonic acid oligomers and acrylic acid oligomer/HAp composites by soaking these films into the simulated body fluid.     

Interaction of alcohols and ethers with a-CF(x) films

The surfaces of the magnetic data storage hard disks used in computers are coated with a thin film of amorphous carbon and a layer of perfluoropolyalkyl ether (PFPE) lubricant. Both protect the surface of the magnetic layer from contact with the read-write head flying over the disk surface. Although the most commonly used carbon films are amorphous hydrogenated carbon, a-CH(x), it has been suggested that the thermal properties of amorphous fluorinated carbon films, a-CF(x), might be superior. This work has probed the interaction of small fluorinated ethers and alcohols with the surfaces of a-CF(x) films to understand the effects of carbon film fluorination on the interaction of the lubricant with its surface. Temperature-programmed desorption was used to measure the desorption energies of small fluorocarbons from the a-CF(x) surface and to compare their desorption energies with those from the surfaces of a-CH(x) films. These measurements reveal that, similarly to a-CH(x) films, a-CF(x) films expose a heterogeneous surface on which fluorocarbons adsorb at sites with a range of binding energies. The fluorocarbon ethers all have lower heats of adsorption than their hydrocarbon counterparts, suggesting that the ethers adsorb by donation of electron density from the oxygen lone-pair electrons to sites on the surface. Fluorinated alcohols have roughly the same heats of adsorption as their hydrocarbon counterparts. There is little significant difference between the interactions of fluorinated ethers (or alcohols) with the surfaces of either a-CF(x) or a-CH(x) films.     

Synthesis and surface properties of a fluorinated polyether

A new polyether consisting of alternate fluorinated/non-fluorinated phenylene units in the backbone has been synthesized via polycondensation of an AB monomer. At room temperature, the polymer film exhibits a low surface energy that is comparable to poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE). However, as the temperature is raised above a particular level, the surface energy of the polymer films starts to increase. Morphological measurements suggest that a smooth thin polymer film can be formed by solvent casting, but it spontaneously dewets the substrate surface when thermally annealed.     

Optimization of HDPE direct fluorination conditions by XPS studies

A fluorination reactor was designed and built in the laboratory. The optimal conditions of fluorination within the reactor were selected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of fluorinated surfaces of a film and a plaque of pure high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This reactor was used to post-mould fluorinate plaques and films of a range of mixtures of virgin and recycled HDPE with and without (re)introduction of additives. The ability to be fluorinated has shown no dependence on the composition virgin/recycled HDPE.Comparison of in-line and post-mould fluorinated samples showed that fluorine concentration profile in depth is thinner in the in-line fluorinated sample when compared with the post-mould fluorinated sample, though the fluorination degree in the extreme surface is larger in the in-line fluorinated sample. This is attributed to a migration of lower surface energy chain blocks towards the surface in the material at high temperatures, which is the case in the in-line fluorination, hindered in the post-mould fluorination where maximum temperature is below the melting point to keep the macroscopic shape. The additives played a minor role in the ability of the surface to be fluorinated.     

PREPARATION AND SURFACE PROPERTIES OF ACRYLIC COPOLYMERS CONTAINING FLUORINATED MONOMERS

A series of copolymers comprising butylmethacrylate, styrene, butylacrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate and perfluoroalkyl methacrylate were synthesized by the free radical polymerization using BPO as an initiator. The surface property of the copolymer films was subsequently characterized. The contact angle measurements and energy dispersive analysis of X-ray （EDAX） show that the length and content of perfluoroalkyl side chains in the copolymers are crucial for the preparation of the film with low surface energy. At a given content of fluorinated monomers in the copolymers, the longer the perfluoroalkyl side chain, the larger the water contact angle of the copolymer films will be. On the other hand, the higher the content of fluorinated monomers, the lower the surface energy is. The water contact angle increases with the increase of the fluorinated monomer content and reaches a plateau at 3 wt% of fluorinated monomer content.
