Acrylate copolymer containing epoxy and fluorine was prepared by solution polymerization

with methyl methacrylate (MMA)

glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and hexafluorobutyl acrylate (F6BA) as monomers.The chemical structure

glass transition temperature and molecular weight of the copolymer were studied by FT-IR

13C NMR

DSC and GPC.The result indicated that the product was a copolymer containing epoxy and fluorine and the glass transition temperature decreased with increasing F6BA.The molecular weight distribution of the copolymer was narrow and dispersion index was about from 1.35 to 1.65.Surface properties of the copolymer films were also measured by contact angle measurements (JC2000C1).The results showed that the surface free energies of the copolymer films decreased with increasing F6BA

and reached 38.27 mJ·m-2 at 20%（mass） F6BA.Water absorption of the films reduced from 18.72% to 4.55% with increasing F6BA.The resistance to acid and alkali was improved obviously and the pencil hardness decreased from 3H to 2H.
