Implication

Synthesis of amphiphilic fluorinated macromolecular surfactants improves surface water repellency in emulsions, indicating potential in material applications.

Key Points

  • To develop amphiphilic fluorinated surfactants and assess their performance in emulsions.
  • Synthesis of poly(acrylic acid)-block-poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate) via RAFT polymerization
  • Use of synthesized copolymer in aqueous fluorinated emulsion polymerization
  • Characterization of surfactants in terms of ζ-potential and particle size
  • Emulsion showed uniform particle size of ∼170 nm and high ζ-potential (>60 mV)
  • Generated a hydrophobic surface with a water contact angle of 143°
  • Demonstrated flux of >8600 L·m–2·h–1 and separation efficiency of >99% across oil-water mixtures
