Reactive Perfluoroheptyl Methacrylate‐Acrylamide Copolymers: Synthesis and Application
Abstract
Perfluoroheptyl methacrylate was copolymerized with acrylamide using different ratios of these monomers. The copolymers so obtained were methylolated with formaldehyde. The methylolated copolymers were used as multi‐purpose finishing agents for cotton. They impart oil and water repellence. Attachment of the methylolated copolymer to cotton is presumed to involve chemical bonds via reaction of the methylol groups of the copolymer and the hydroxy groups of cotton cellulose. This was evidenced by the wash‐fastness properties; no significant differences were noted in the oil/water repellence of cotton fabric treated with the copolymers in question.
