Synthesis and surfactant properties of novel fluoroalkylated amphiphilic oligomers

Abstract

New fluoroalkylated oligomers containing morpholino groups are prepared by the reactions of fluoroalkanoyl peroxides with acryloyl morpholine; these oligomers show a good solubility in not only water but also common organic solvents, including non-polar solvents, and are applicable to non-ionic fluorinated amphiphilic oligosurfactants owing to reducing the surface tension of both water and in particular m-xylene quite effectively.
