N2 - The effect of α-substituent on the molecular motion and wetting behavior of poly{2-(perfluorobutyl)ethyl acrylate} [PFA-C4], poly{2-(perfluorobutyl)ethyl methacrylate} [PFMA-C4], poly{2-(perfluorobutyl)ethyl α-fluoroacrylate} [PFFA-C4], and poly{2-(perfluorobutyl)ethyl α-chloroacrylate} [PFClA-C4] films were characterized by dynamic contact angle measurement, lateral force microscopy (LFM), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). WAXD of oriented PFClA-C4 fiber suggested the presence of rod-like chain due to the presence of bulky α-substituent. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of PFFA-C4 and PFClA-C4 were well above the room temperature. The water repellencies of PFFA-C4 and PFClA-C4 were as high as that of PFMA-C4 and their oil repellency of PFFA-C4 and PFClA-C4 was higher than the PFMA-C4. This result was originated from the low main chain mobility of PFFA-C4 and PFClA-C4 due to the presence of bulky α-substituents. The effect of molecular motion on water repellency was clarified by the results of temperature dependence studies of dynamic contact angle, LFM, and surface chemical composition measured by XPS.
