“…It is thus imperative to develop new methods for preparing fluorinated acrylate copolymer emulsions and introduce new functional monomers to improve the properties of the emulsion and its latex film. To address the issue above-mentioned, an increasing number of studies have been conducted on the soap-free emulsion polymerization method [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26] using reactive emulsifiers as the reactive emulsifier can react with monomers and become part of the polymers, decreasing the negative effects of general emulsifiers on the nature of the latex film. In addition, self-crosslinking functional monomers, which can copolymerize with other vinyl monomers to form fluorinated acrylate copolymer latexes, but also form a reticular polymer matrix during the film-forming process to restrict the fluoroalkyl groups from migrating inside, have gradually attracted increasing interest.…”
