STABLE SUPERHYDROPHOBIC FLUORINE CONTAINING POLYFLUORENES

Fluorene-based polymers containing perfluorooctyl moieties were designed and synthesized. The high electronegativity and F…H-C interactions are present in the fluorinated polymers, which slightly induce blue-shift of UV-Vis absorption in film. The fluoropolymer films prepared from fluorinated solvents show lager contact angles than those prepared in non-fluorinated solvents.
