PERFLUOROALKYL (METH)ACRYLATE POLYMERS AND THEIR USE AS SURFACTANT AND SUBSTRATE TREATING REAGENTS

摘要

The invention provides a polymer, useful as a surfactant and textile reagent, comprising: (a) monomeric units containing a lipophobic group, said monomeric units comprising a compound of Formula: (I); wherein: Z is a spacer; R is H or methyl; R<SUB>f </SUB>is a lipophobic group, R<SUP>2</SUP> and R<SUP>3</SUP> are each independently H or halo; X is -O- or a covalent bond; and o is 0 or 1 or 2; (b) optionally but preferably, monomeric units containing an attachment group; and (c) optionally but preferably, monomeric units containing a hydophobic group.
