Scientific Research Applications

• Phase Behavior with CO2: HFBMA shows specific phase behavior when combined with supercritical carbon dioxide, which is significant for high-pressure applications in materials science (Yoon & Byun, 2014).
• Environmentally Friendly Stabilizers: HFBMA is used to create environmentally friendly stabilizer architectures for the dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in supercritical CO2. This application addresses environmental concerns associated with long-chain perfluorinated compounds (Ganapathy et al., 2008).
• Surface Properties and Morphology Control: The compound is vital in controlling the surface energy and morphology of fluorinated copolymers, especially when used in thin films. The incorporation of HFBMA influences the surface properties significantly (Chen et al., 2015).
• Low Surface Energy Materials: HFBMA has been used in the synthesis of copolymers with poly(dimethylsiloxane), creating materials with low surface energy, which is crucial for applications requiring hydrophobic surfaces (Luo & He, 2008).
• Living Radical Polymerization: The compound is instrumental in single-electron transfer-living radical polymerization (SET-LRP), demonstrating control over molecular weight and distribution in the creation of semifluorinated polymers (Samanta, Cai, & Percec, 2014).
• Gamma Radiation Stability in Polymers: HFBMA-based polymers, such as homopolymers and copolymers, have been studied for their gamma radiation stability, optical properties, and mechanical properties, which are significant for fiber cladding materials (Bertolucci et al., 1998).
• Surface Microphase Separation: The compound is used in the study of surface microphase separation in block copolymer films. This application is significant for the development of materials with specific surface properties and morphologies (Lian et al., 2011).
• Block Copolymer Synthesis and Application: HFBMA is used in the synthesis of block copolymers, which have applications ranging from surfactants in emulsion polymerization to the creation of low energy surfaces with various morphologies (Koiry et al., 2018).
