Abstract

Physicochemical properties of two fluorinated methacrylic homopolymers (PTFEMA and PHFIMA) were studied by Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC) and the Contact Angle method. The dispersive component of the polymers' surface energy was calculated by both methods, while the total surface energy by the contact angle method. Moreover the polymer-solvents interactions were investigated by IGC. The results revealed that both polymers are hydrophobic and insoluble in many organic solvents.
