Fluoroalkyl end-capped N-(1,1-dimethyl-3-oxobutyl)acrylamide-acryloylmorpholine cooligomers were prepared by the cooligomerizations of fluoroalkanoyl peroxides with the corresponding monomers. These fluorinated cooligomers were found to exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) characteristic in aqueous solution. In addition, we have found that the contact angle values of dodecane on the modified poly(methyl methacrylate) films treated with these fluorinated oligomers were decreased effectively with the increase of the temperature from 40 to 60 degrees. In this study, we would like to demonstrate on these unique surface characteristics in detail.
