Patent ID: 8871881

Claim:
A hydrophobic coating consisting of a polymer surface being formed of at least one homo- or copolymer, which has at least one side chain having at least one fluoro-substituted aryl group, wherein said homopolymer is a polymer selected from the group consisting of poly-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene, poly-2-fluorostyrene, poly-3-fluorostyrene, poly-4-fluorostyrene, F5-PPX (poly-p-xylene), as well as homopolymers of 2-fluoroaryl-/3-fluoroaryl-/4-fluoroaryl-/ and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoroaryl-substituted vinyl monomers and wherein said copolymer is formed of a monomer selected from the group consisting of 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene, 2-fluorostyrene, 3-fluorostyrene, 4-fluorostyrene, F5-PPX (poly-p-xylene), and combinations thereof and a monomer selected from the group comprising styrene, substituted styrene derivatives, 5,6-benzo-2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane, methyl methacrylate, N-phenylmaleimide and combinations thereof, wherein the polymer surface is produced through an electrospinning method.
