Abstract

AbstractA series of hydroxy fluoroalkyl methacrylates were synthesized in 50% yields by the esterification reaction of the methacryloyl chloride with fluoroalkyl diol. These fluorinated methacrylates undergo rapid photopolymerization using Igacure651 as a photoinitiator. Hydrogels were prepared from various molar ratios of 2‐hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and fluorine containing monomers with a photoinitiator. Analyzing the water contents and contact angles of the hydrogels, we found that the content of fluorinate monomers increased, water contents decreased and contact angles increased.
