Synthesis of amino terminated semifluorinated long-chain alkanethiols

The α,ω-diiodoperfluorooctane is added to undecyl-10-en-1-ol through AIBN initiation yielding the monoadduct in good yield (1,2-dichloroethane, 52%). This is added to N-allylphthalimide (AIBN initiation, 1,2-dichloroethane, 81%). The resulting diiodo compound is hydrodeiodinated with Bu₃SnH (toluene, 70%) and the alcohol function is converted to thioacetate through the Mitsunobu reaction (PPh₃, DIAD, THF, 75%). The two protecting groups, phthalimide and thioacetate, are removed with hydrazine to give the expected amino terminated semifluorinated long-chain alkanethiol (ethanol, 80%). This compound has been designed in order to form mixed fluorinated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with semifluorinated long-chain alkanethiol giving access to a new platform system for biosensors. Similar results are reported starting from the α,ω-diiodoperfluorohexane.     

Synthesis of semifluorinated block copolymers by atom transfer radical polymerization

Two sets of styrene‐based semifluorinated block copolymers, one with a perfluoroether pendant group and another with a perfluoroalkyl group, were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization. Microphase separation of the block copolymers was established by small‐angle X‐ray scattering and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC measurements also showed that the perfluoroether‐based polymer had a low glass‐transition temperature (?44 °C). Contact‐angle measurements indicated that the semifluorinated block copolymers had low surface energies (ca. 13 mJ/m²). These materials hold promise as low‐surface‐energy additives or surfactants for supercritical CO₂ applications. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 853–861, 2004     

Synthesis and characterization of semifluorinated polymers and block copolymers

The goal of the investigation presented here was to evaluate the influence of semifluorinated side chains on the bulk structure and the surface properties of polysulfones with different chain structure. Thus, segmented block copolymers consisting of polysulfone and semifluorinated aromatic polyester segments as well as polysulfones having semifluorinated side chains randomly distributed over the polymer backbone were synthesized and characterized. Oxydecylperfluorodecyl side chains were used because of their strong tendency for self-organization. The influence of the chain architecture on the self-organization as well as on the surface properties, particularly the wetting behavior, was examined. It could be shown that despite of the higher self-organizing tendency of block copolymers the surface properties of both polymer types are comparable and depend only on the concentration of side chains.     

Synthesis and optical properties of novel soluble and optically transparent semifluorinated poly (ether imide)s

A fluorinated diamine monomer containing flexible ether linkage and bulky trifluoromethyl substituents, namely, bis(4‐amino‐2‐trifluoromethylphenyl) ether (a), is employed to react with nonfluorinated 1,4‐bis(3,4‐dicarboxyphenoxy) benzene dianhydride (3) and CF₃‐free 2,2‐bis[4‐(3,4‐dicarboxyphenoxy)phenyl] propane dianhydride (4), respectively, to prepare 2 novel soluble and optically transparent semi‐fluorinated poly (ether imide)s (PEIs; 3a and 4a). Compared with the corresponding PEIs based on nonfluorinated 4,4′‐diaminodiphenyl ether (b) and CF₃‐free pyromellitic dianhydride (5), the novel semifluorinated PEIs 3a and 4a not only display better solubility in some organic solvents and higher optical transparency with cutoff absorption wavelength (λ₀) below 370 nm but also maintain outstanding mechanical properties and thermal stability. 3a and 4a have tensile strength beyond 80 MPa and possess glass‐transition temperatures (T_g) beyond 210°C, coupled with the temperatures of 5% weight loss (T_5%) exceeding 500°C. It is also found that 3a and 4a exhibit contact angles against water beyond 110° and water absorptions below 0.8% together with dielectric constants less than 3.2.

Investigation of acid–base and surface characteristics of a thermotropic semifluorinated salicylaldimine liquid crystal by inverse gas chromatography

The surface energy of a semifluorinated salicylaldimine liquid crystal has been characterised by inverse gas chromatography over the temperature range 303 to 323 K using n-alkanes, tetrahydrofurane, dichloromethane, chloroform, acetone and ethyl acetate molecular probes. The dispersive component of the surface free energy of the adsorbent surface studied was calculated according to the approaches of Fowkes and Dorris–Gray in the infinite dilution region. The specific free energy, enthalpy and entropy of adsorption of polar probes on the liquid crystal were determined. The values of the specific enthalpy of adsorption were correlated with both the donor and the acceptor numbers of the probes to quantify the acidic and the basic parameters of the liquid crystal surface. The surface of the semifluorinated salicylaldimine liquid crystal was found to show a basic nature, which determined the nature of its interaction with the polar probes.

Synthesis,micelle formation,and bulk properties of poly(ethylene glycol)‐b‐poly(pentafluorostyrene)‐g‐polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane amphiphilic hybrid copolymers

The synthesis, micelle formation, and bulk properties of semifluorinated amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)‐b‐poly(pentafluorostyrene)‐g‐cubic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (PEG‐b‐PPFS‐g‐POSS) hybrid copolymers is reported. The synthesis of amphiphilic PEG‐b‐PPFS block copolymers are achieved using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) at 100 °C in trifluorotoluene using modified poly(ethylene glycol) as a macroinitiator. Subsequently, a proportion of the reactive para‐F functionality on the pentafluorostyrene units was replaced with aminopropylisobutyl POSS through aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions. The products were fully characterized by ¹H‐NMR and GPC. The products, PEG‐b‐PPFS and PEG‐b‐PPFS‐g‐POSS, were subsequently self‐assembled in aqueous solutions to form micellar structures. The critical micelle concentrations (cmc) were estimated using two different techniques: fluorescence spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The cmc was found to decrease concomitantly with the number of POSS particles grafted per copolymer chain. The hydrodynamic particle sizes (R_h) of the micelles, calculated from DLS data, increase as the number of POSS molecules grafted per copolymer chain increases. For example, R_h increased from ～60 nm for PEG‐b‐PPFS to ～80 nm for PEG‐b‐PPFS‐g‐POSS25 (25 is the average number of POSS particles grafted copolymer chain). Static light scattering (SLS) data confirm that the formation of larger micelles by higher POSS containing copolymers results from higher aggregation numbers (N_agg), caused by increased hydrophobicity. The R_g/R_h values, where R_g is the radius of gyration calculated from SLS data, are consistent with a spherical particle model having a core‐shell structure. Thermal characterization by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) reveals that the grafted POSS acts as a plasticizer; the glass transition temperature (T_g) of the PPFS block in the copolymer decreases significantly with increasing POSS content. Finally, the rhombohedral crystal structure of POSS in PEG‐b‐PPFS‐g‐POSS was verified by wide angle X‐ray diffraction measurements. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Depth profiling of latex blends of fluorinated and fluorine‐free acrylates with laser‐induced secondary mass spectrometry

We explored phase separation and self‐assembly of perfluoroalkyl segments at the surface of polymer films obtained from latices of semifluorinated acrylate copolymers and the corresponding latex blends of nonfluorinated and semifluorinated polyacrylates. With laser‐induced secondary mass spectrometry the fluorine distribution was measured after annealing above the minimum film‐forming temperature of the polymers up to a depth of several micrometers. Depth profiles of a semifluorinated acrylate homopolymer and latex blends thereof with fluorine‐free alkylacrylates with 25, 50, and 75 mol % semifluorinated acrylate as well as a copolymer comprised of alkyl acrylate and semifluorinated acrylate (50/50 mol %) were investigated. In the case of latex blends containing both semifluorinated polyacrylates and fluorine‐free or low‐fluorine polymers, self‐assembly accounted for enrichment of the perfluoroalkyl segments at the surface. Coatings exhibiting low surface energy and having a substantially reduced total fluorine content were obtained. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 41: 360–367, 2003

Synthesis and characterization of tri-block fluorinated-n-alkanes

A series of triblock semifluorinated n-alkanes of general formula F(CF₂)_n(CH₂)_m(CF₂)_nF (n = 6, 8 and m = 4, 6, 8) have been synthesized and characterized. The synthesis of triblock compounds was performed in two different ways according to the length of the hydrogenated moiety. Coupling of two molecules of β-(perfluoro-n-alkyl)ethyl iodides leads to the triblock materials F(CF₂)₆(CH₂)₄(CF₂)₆F and F(CF₂)₈(CH₂)₄(CF₂)₈F. The synthesis of compounds with larger hydrogenated part is accomplished in two steps by the addition of perfluoro-n-alkyl iodide F(CF₂)_nI to 1,5-hexadiene and 1,7-octadiene, respectively to give the diiodo-adducts which are subsequently deiodinated to the final triblock products F(CF₂)₆(CH₂)₆(CF₂)₆F, F(CF₂)₆(CH₂)₈(CF₂)₆F, F(CF₂)₈(CH₂)₆(CF₂)₈F and F(CF₂)₈(CH₂)₈(CF₂)₈F. The obtained triblock semifluorinated n-alkanes are characterized by low surface free energies with good lubricant properties usable as additives in ski-wax formulations.

The present work aimed to investigate the synthesis of PFE-m,n and evaluate some of their fundamental physico-chemical properties such as: specific gravity, refractive index, viscosity, solid-solid transitions, solubility and amphiphile surface activity in a variety of solvents. Further, a comparison between PFE-m,n and the well known semifluorinated n-alkanes F(CF₂)_m-(CH₂)nH (FHm, n) with the same value of the m/n ratio have been reported.

Synthesis and Characterization of Polymers Containing Rare Earth Metals

Europium and terbium salts of methacrylic acid (MA) and octanoic acid (OCA) were prepared by a method similar to that described in the literature. Either Eu(MA)₃ or Tb(MA)₃ with three double bonds (C?C) was used as a crosslinker containing rare earth metal ions, but the octanoic acid salts were used as additives. The salts were dissolved in methacrylic acid (<20%) and then copolymerized with methyl methacrylate (>80%) using AIBN (0.2 wt%) as initiator. The two types of polymers, one containing Eu(MA)₃ or Tb(MA)₃ and the other with Eu(OCA)₃ or Tb(OCA)₃, were synthesized by bulk copolymerization in molds made of two glass plates and characterized. The fluorescence spectroscopy of these polymers under ultraviolet/visible excitation light was investigated. The fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of the polymers showed the characteristic spectra of the free Eu³⁺ or Tb³⁺. The fluorescence intensity of the rare earth metal ions increased with increasing rare earth metal content. Fluorescence measurements for Eu(MA)₃, Tb(MA)₃, and Eu(OCA)₃ polymers do not display fluorescence quenching behavior within the range of the rare earth metal content used in our experiments. But for Tb(OCA)₃ polymers, this phenomenon was observed, illustrating that ionic aggregates exist in Tb(OCA)₃ polymeric systems.
