The development of durable and eco-friendly coatings with excellent adhesion and remarkable surface properties remains a critical pursuit in various industries. This study introduces an innovative methodology for the synthesis of glycidyl methacrylate-co-fluorinated methacrylate (P(GMA-co-FMA)) random copolymers with variable fluorine contents derived from GMA and FMA monomers. The copolymerization of these constituents yields coatings with enhanced durability and unique surface characteristics. Particularly, the incorporation of FMA introduces novel surface functionalities, leading to high water and oil repellent properties. The copolymer-coated surfaces exhibited impressive water contact angles ranging from 105°to 125°and decane contact angles ranging from 50°to 85°. The wettability of the P(GMA-co-FMA) coatings demonstrated a strong dependence on the fluorine content in the copolymers, with higher fluorine content resulting in superior water and oil repellency. Through a comprehensive characterization, we demonstrate the exceptional adhesion and self-cleaning capabilities of the fabricated films. Notably, the self-cleaning efficacy of P(GMA-co-FMA)coated surfaces persists even following a prolonged duration of 6 months. Furthermore, our investigation reveals the influence of copolymer composition on surface wettability and contact angle hysteresis, providing valuable insights for tailoring coating properties. Overall, the novelty of this study lies in the synthesis of P(GMA-co-FMA) copolymer coatings with superior adhesion and self-cleaning properties. These advancements present promising applications in various fields, including electronics, textiles, and medical supplies, where such durable and functional coatings can significantly enhance product performance and longevity.

“…While the inherent structure of the fibers in textile fabrics already contributes to the desired hierarchical structuring of the material, especially in the case of nanostructured fibers [5], their chemical surface modification is a crucial step to achieving superhydrophobic properties. The deposition of a low surface energy coating can be performed, for instance, by using polymer grafting [6][7][8], sol−gel technique [9,10], dip-coating [11], spray-coating [12,13], chemical vapor deposition [14,15], or plasma treatments [16][17][18][19]. Among these techniques, the plasma polymerization process has been identified as a good candidate to engineer such coatings.…”

The plasma polymerization of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) leads to the environmentally friendly fabrication of water-repellent coatings through a vapor-phase surface functionalization process using alternatives to the controversial perfluoroacrylate precursors. However, the durability of these coatings is their Achilles’ heel, which requires an in-depth study of the relationship between the structure and properties of these thin films in order to propose concrete solutions for the fabrication of fluorine-free water-repellent textiles. In this context, HMDSO plasma polymers have been deposited on cotton fabrics in an original reactor that allows easy tuning of temporal and spatial parameters of the glow discharge. The functionalized fabrics were characterized to gain insights into the chemical composition of the coatings, their morphology and, above all, their adhesion properties. Interestingly, the results after washing tests revealed a significant dependence of the durability of the superhydrophobic property on the elastic modulus of the deposited polymer. The formation of some radicals at the substrate–thin film interface in the early stages of deposition also correlates with some results. These relationships between the operating conditions of the plasma polymerization, the interfacial properties and the performances of the functionalized fabrics, but also the characterization methodology developed in this work, can undoubtedly serve the engineering of water-repellent fluorine-free coatings on fabrics with optimal durability.
