3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-Heptadecafluorodecyl methacrylate

3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-Heptadecafluorodecylmethacrylate is a fluorinated acrylate monomer with methacrylate functional group. It imparts excellent water repellency to coatings and materials fabricated using this monomer. It can be used as a surface-modifying agent to alter the properties of different substrates. It can be applied to enhance surface lubricity, reduce friction, improve drug release properties, or modify surface energy. Owing to its hydrophobicity, thermal stability, chemical and oil resistance, it is widely used in the field of coatings, adhesives, and surface treatments.

3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-Heptadecafluorodecyl methacrylate can be used:

• As a monomer to synthesize poly(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-Heptadecafluorodecyl methacrylate) (PFDMA). PFDMA can be used to prepare a super amphiphobic sponge that repels both water and oil via the initiated chemical vapor deposition(iCVD).
• As a surface modification agent to alter the surface energy of steel-use-stainless (SUS) membrane to separate microalgal lipids from wet biomass. This helps to simplify the process of microalgae-derived biodiesel production.
• To fabricate biocompatible polymer coatings for transmucosal delivery of oral drugs. The polymer coating induces hydrophobicity that helps to avoid the release of drugs in unwanted directions.
• As a precursor/monomer to prepare triblock copolymers as electrolytes for Li metal batteries. It enhances mechanical strength, lithium-ion transference number, and cycling stability.
