Abstract
The fluorinated monomers 1,1,2,2-tetrahydroperfluorodecyl acrylate (AC8) and methacrylate (MAC8), and an hydrogenated monomer isodecyl acrylate (ISO) were polymerized by using a low pressure Microwave (MW) plasma process. Reactions were carried out on monomer films (200–600μm) and were monitored by 1H NMR spectroscopy by following the evolution of the vinylic protons. Effects of inhibitor, photoinitiator, power of the MW generator, depth of films on the kinetics of homopolymerization were investigated. Our results show that a classical radical mechanism is respected and that the reactivity follows the order AC8>ISO>MAC8. Copolymerization of AC8 with isodecyl acrylate was also studied and values of the reactivity ratios determined by the Fineman–Ross method.
