Chemical, thermal and film properties of metal cross-linking fluorinated polyacrylate colloid prepared via semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization

The metal cross-linking fluorinated polyacrylate colloid has a high cross-linking density, high transparency, high heat resistance and hydrophobicity. In this paper, the metal cross-linking fluorinated polyacrylate colloid is synthesized via the semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization technology, which uses the self-made magnesium acrylate, calcium acrylate and zinc acrylate as metal crosslinker and dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate as a fluorine monomer. In this study, the ablation effect of the metal ions is weakened by the increased amount of environmentally friendly and polymerizable anion emulsifier DNS-86. The demulsification phenomenon of emulsion is successfully overcome through destroying the double layer structure of micelles or colloid particles by polyvalent metal ions. The colloidal particle size is smaller and the particle size distribution of the colloid is more uniform. Colloidal film has a good hydrophobicity and the glass transition temperature and the thermal decomposition temperature are high.
