Polysiloxane/poly(fluorinated acrylate) core–shell latexes and surface wettability of films.

Highlight: [•] Present a new strategy for fluorosilicone copolymers core–shell latexes. [•] The effect of 6FA, 3FMA, 6FMA and 12FMA monomers on the latex is investigated. [•] The longer side chains of 12FMA contribute much to the lower surface free energy. [•] P(D4/D4 V)/p(BA/MMA/12FMA) latex gives a lower wettability and water absorption film. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
