Abstract:
A polymer suitable for use as a marine antifouling coating comprising a copolymer of:a. a monomer of the formula: wherein R is CH3 or H, and Rf is (C)u(CH)v(CH2)w(CF)x(CF2)y(CF3)x where u is from 0 to 1, v is from 0 to 1, w is from 0 to 20, x is from 0 to 1, y is from 0 to 20, z is from 1 to 3, and the sum of w and y is from 0 to 20,b. a monomer of the formula: wherein R is CH3 or H, and R1 is alkyl or aryl,c. a monomer of the formula: wherein R is CH3 or H, and R1, R2, and R3 can be the same or different and are non-hydrolysable alkyl groups containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms and/or a non-hydrolysable aryl groups containing from 6 to 20 carbon atoms.
