Abstract
A novel styrene monomer with a highly branched perfluoroalkenyl group was readily prepared in good yield from hexafluoropropene trimer and hydroxystyrene. The fluorinated monomer radically polymerized yielded a white powdery polymer which was soluble in fluorinated solvents and had good water repellency. The polymer had a unique high glass transition temperature despite the introduction of perfluorinated groups. The monomer was copolymerized with styrene, and their monomer reactivity ratios were determined.
