“…However, adaptation of homopolymers of FMA to many systems is limited due to the many drawbacks such as being expensive, having poor mechanical properties and solubility difficulties in organic solvents (3,13,18). Copolymerization of FMA with methyl methacrylate (MMA) is an efficient solution to overcome these problems, and FMA-MMA copolymer couples have been experimentally synthesized by free radical polymerization using thermal initiators many times in the literature under different reaction conditions (15,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). Organic solvents such as butyl acetate (19,20,23), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) (7,21), cyclohexanone (24), toluene (29,30) and solvent mixtures such as 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane (R-113)/-trifluorotoluene (TFT) (15,18), toluene/MEK (25) were previously used in solution copolymerizations to synthesize fluorinated acrylate copolymers.…”
