Abstract
New fluoroalkyl end-capped fullerene cooligomers were prepared by the react ions of fluoroalkanoyl peroxides with fullerene and comonomers such as acry loylmorpholine, NN-dimethylacrylamide and acrylic acid. These fluorinated f ullerene cooligomers were easily soluble in water and common organic solven ts, and were able to reduce the surface tensions of both water and benzene, quite effectively. Additionally, these fullerene cooligomers were found to form a stable monomolecular film at the air-water interface, and the modif ied polystyrene surface treated with these cooligomers was shown to have a strong hydrophilicity with good oil repellency.
