STABILITY INVESTIGATION OF SUPERHYDROPHOBIC PROPERTIES OF THE ALUMINUM SURFACE MODIFIED BY COPOLYMERS OF FLUOROALKYL METHACRYLATES
The way for obtaining of stable superhydrophobic polymer coatings based on copolymers of glycidyl methacrylate and fluoroalkyl methacrylates on the aluminum surface was proposed. The influence of fluorine content in the side chain of fluoroalkyl methacrylate from 3 to 7 atoms on the stability of the superhydrophobic state to long-term contacts with aqueous media under saturated vapor conditions and the durability of coatings to abrasive action was studied.
