3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-Heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate (CAS 27905-45-9)

3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-Heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate, known as HDFDA, is an acrylate monomer employed in polymer synthesis. As a fluorinated alkyl acrylate, 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-Heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate is instrumental in synthesizing polymers with a range of characteristics such as low surface energy, high hydrophobicity, and a low dielectric constant. It has been a component in the formulation of polymers for applications that require the delivery of substances, the creation of scaffolding for tissue engineering, and the production of materials for implantable devices. 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-Heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate has also been engaged in industrial applications for creating polymers used in coatings and adhesives. Moreover, it has been used to generate polymers for an array of other purposes, which include optical materials, electrical insulation, and protective coatings. 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-Heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate, being a fluorinated alkyl acrylate, functions similarly to other acrylates. Acrylates are monomers that react with other monomers in the synthesis of polymers. This process is catalyzed by an initiator, which facilitates the reaction of acrylates with other monomers, leading to a polymer with the required properties.
