Article: Structure control, coating properties, and durability of fluorinated Acrylic-based polymers.

Lucia Toniolo--Centro C.N.R. "Gino Bozza" ++

Fluorinated acrylates were employed for the synthesis of conventional, side-chain fluorinated, fully acrylic random copolymers, and of more unusual hybrid copolymers with vinyl ethers. The latter can feature alternating structure and peculiar material properties associated with fluorine or fluorinated groups substitution onto the polymer backbone. Improved efficacy and durability of the resulting coating, highly desirable for the consolidation and protection of highly valued works of art, was achieved through a systematic approach involving a detailed study of their photodegradation behavior, and extensive testing of ...
