Fluoroalkyl Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (F-POSS) Based Monomers and Polymers

Abstract

Fluorinated Polyhedral Oligomeric SilSesquioxanes (F-POSS), which contain silicon-oxygen cores and a periphery of long chain fluorinated alkyl groups, were functionalized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and acrylate (A) to produce F-POSS monomers (F-POSS-MMA and F-POSS-A). Structures were confirmed with multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C, and 29Si) and found to be soluble in non-fluorinated solvents such as diethyl ether.
