Scientific Research Applications

Copolymer Synthesis and Fabric Application

2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-Dodecafluoroheptyl acrylate (DFHA) is used in the synthesis of fluorine-containing acrylate copolymers. These copolymers, synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization, are applied to dyed polyester microfiber fabric, enhancing shade darkening effects and improving color yield, indicating their potential in textile applications (Xie, Hou, & Shi, 2008).

Waterborne Polyurethane Formulation

A novel fluorinated diol, synthesized from DFHA, was used to create waterborne fluorinated polyurethane emulsions. These emulsions showed enhanced thermal stability, mechanical properties, and resistance to water and organic solvents, suggesting their use in coatings and other protective applications (Li et al., 2015).

Chemical Vapor Deposition for Film Creation

DFHA is utilized in initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) to create copolymer films with glycidyl methacrylate. These films demonstrate improved mechanical properties and low surface energy, making them suitable for applications requiring durable, low-energy surfaces (Mao & Gleason, 2006).

Surface Coating and Self-Cleaning Properties

Fluorine-modified acrylate resins containing DFHA exhibit self-cleaning properties, ideal for protective coatings. These coatings, due to their high contact angles and low sliding angles, are advantageous for self-cleaning applications (Yang et al., 2014).
