Functionalized Fluoroalkyl Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (F-POSS)

Abstract

A variety of functionalized Fluorinated Polyhedral Oligomeric SilSesquioxanes (F-POSS) were synthesized and characterized. The chemical structures were confirmed using multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, 19F, and 29Si), FT-IR, and combustion analysis. Dynamic contact angle measurements of these compounds were taken with water and hexadecane. Copolymers containing F-POSS were synthesized from monomer functionalized F-POSS. These novel structures can be used as initial building blocks for the development of low surface energy materials.
