Chemical Properties
clear colorless liquid
Uses
(Perfluorooctyl)ethyl Acrylate is a reagent used in the synthesis of parahydrophobic polymer coatings, as well as polymer brushes for controlling surface lubrication.
Definition
1H,1H,2H,2H-Heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate is a semi-volatile fluorinated organic compound and is in polluted air in Asia and the western United States during the spring. The structure of this substance contains multiple fluorine atoms and a terminal olefin unit. It has high chemical reactivity and is sensitive to intense light. Perfluorooctylethyl acrylate contains an unsaturated double-bond unit and can be used to prepare perfluoroacrylate polymers.
Application
1H,1H,2H,2H-Heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate can be applied as follows:
(1) Coatings Industry: Due to their low surface tension and excellent heat resistance, 1H,1H,2H,2H-Heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate are commonly used in the preparation of high-performance surface coatings, such as water-repellent, oil-repellent, corrosion-repellent, anti-adhesive and temperature-resistant coatings
[1-2].
(2) Lubricants: It can be used as a lubricant, especially where oil and water resistance is required.
(3) Surface Modifiers: In surface modification of textiles, plastics and other materials, it can provide special surface properties such as anti-staining and anti-adhesion
[3].
(4) Electronic encapsulation material: Due to its chemical inertness and heat resistance, it can also be used as encapsulation material for electronic products, such as liquid crystal displays and fibre optic manufacturing.
Research
Latex based upon fluorinated acrylates such as perfluorooctylethyl methacrylate (FMA) and perfluorooctylethyl acrylate (FA; 1H,1H,2H,2H-Heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate) and fluorine-free acrylates such as n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) was prepared using emulsion polymerization in the presence of octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C18TAB) and 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (V50) as water-soluble azo initiator[4].
