Abstract: | A series of fluorinated bis-urea and bis-amide derivatives were synthesized from fluorinated amines and explored as surface modifiers for nonwoven substrates. A majority of these derivatives showed excellent gelation properties both in organic solvents as well as in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) at concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 3 wt%. Gelation in the presence of a nonwoven substrate led to a gel-impregnated surface, which upon drying produced a composite with porous microstructure morphology on the surface. The composites thus produced showed high water and hexadecane contact angles, indicative of excellent hydrophobic and lyophobic properties. The superior hydrophobic and oleophobic behaviors observed in these composites are attributed to a combination of increased surface roughness and the presence of fluoroalkyl functionalities in the gelator backbone. |
