Abstract:SYNOPSISA novel family of fluoroterpolymers was prepared, containing perfluoroalkylethyl methacrylate (PFAEM) , methacrylic acid (MAA) , and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEM)residues. The refractive index of the fluoroterpolymers is in the range of 1.3675 5 n I 1.4275. The surface tension of cured thin films falls in the interval from 15 m N / m to as low as 8 mN/m. Upon heating, these polymers undergo thermally initiated self-crosslinking and develop tenacious bonding to substrates. The associated chemical … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
