Procedure

This example illustrates conjoint use of the fluoro acrylate and methacrylate. 75.81 g (40.8 wt. %) of the perfluoroalkyl methacrylate (DuPont's Zonyl-TM), 72.3 g (38.9 wt. %) of the perfluoroalkyl acrylate (Hoechst-Celanese NUVA HF), 17.61 g (9.5 wt. %) of methacrylic acid, and 19.98 g (10.8 wt. %) of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate were polymerized in 300 ml THF, using 0.55 g AIBN as initiator, employing above-described procedure. Yield: 79.1%.
