A new spiro-centered thermopolymerizable fluorinated macromonomer is reported here. This fourfunctional macromonomer is synthesized by a convergent strategy, and shows a low melting point (93 C) and good solubility in the common organic solvents. When heated to a high temperature, the macromonomer converts into a cross-linked network (PD 1 ), which exhibits a T g of near 316 C and a 5% weigh loss at a temperature of 417 C in N 2 . PD 1 also shows a low dielectric constant (D k ¼ 2.58 at 30 MHz) and high hydrophobicity (a water contact angle of q ¼ 98 ), as well as low water uptake (about 0.45%, kept in boiling water for 72 h). These results suggest that the macromonomer has a potential application in the production of the high performance polymers, in particular, it is very suitable for encapsulation resins or the coatings utilized in the microelectronics industry.Scheme 1 Procedure for the synthesis and conversion of the new monomer D 1 .
