The polymers are well soluble in fluorinated solvents like Freon-113\u00ae and 1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl) benzene, in semi-polar solvents like chloroform, THF or lower esters and also in hydrocarbons with polymers containing dodecyl methacrylate. In self-emulsification experiments, a stable water emulsion of P[F8H2MA0.2-co-BMA0.65-co-MAH0.15] was obtained. The dispersability and emulsification of these polymers in mixtures of organic solvents and water yielded stable emulsions in the presence of additional surfactant. Thin films coated from organic solutions as well as from emulsions on glass resulted in water and oil-repelling surfaces with contact angles up to 140\u00b0 against water and 71\u00b0 against hexadecane. An enhancing effect of annealing was not observed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym10010037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,3]],"date-time":"2018-01-03T12:00:06Z","timestamp":1514980806000},"page":"37","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Solubility, Emulsification and Surface Properties of Maleic Anhydride, Perfluorooctyl and Alkyl Meth-Acrylate Terpolymers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Marian","family":"Szkudlarek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"DWI Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials and Institute of Technical and Macromolecular Chemistry, RWTH Aachen University, Forckenbeckstra\u00dfe 50, D-52056 Aachen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Uwe","family":"Beginn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e4t Osnabr\u00fcck, Institut f\u00fcr Chemie, OMC, Barbarastra\u00dfe 7, D-49076 Osnabr\u00fcck, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helmut","family":"Keul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DWI Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials and Institute of Technical and Macromolecular Chemistry, RWTH Aachen University, Forckenbeckstra\u00dfe 50, D-52056 Aachen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"M\u00f6ller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DWI Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials and Institute of Technical and Macromolecular Chemistry, RWTH Aachen University, Forckenbeckstra\u00dfe 50, D-52056 Aachen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4574","DOI":"10.1002\/pola.24249","article-title":"Self-emulsification and surface modification effect of fluorinated amphiphilic acrylate graft copolymers","volume":"48","author":"Cha","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
