The surface structure and surface energy properties of fluorinated 2‐vinylcyclopropane copolymers were investigated. The copolymers were prepared by free radical ring opening polymerization of fluorinated 1 and non‐fluorinated 2 2‐vinylcyclopropanes. NEXAFS experiments proved that the film surface was ordered with the fluorinated side groups possessing a relatively high orientational order. Contact angle measurements with different interrogating liquids permitted the polymer surface tension to be estimated. These surfaces showed both hydrophobic and oleophobic character, consistent with a low surface energy.
