Аннотация:Abstract: New α-fluoroacrylic monomers with a fluorination degree of 83.3 – 90.9% have been recently synthesized. It was found that the monomers have high reactivity in the radical polymerization process, which can be launched without adding special photoinitiators by exposure to actinic radiation of wavelength λ ≤ 270 nm. In the process of photopolymerization, the penetration depth of UV light into α-fluoroacrylates was shown to increase, indicating strong bleaching during the irradiation. The monomers and corresponding homopolymers exhibit high optical transparency in the 840, 1310 and 1550 nm telecom wavelength regions. Surface relief structures were fabricated by UV exposure of α-fluoroacrylates through the photomask without any photoinitiator.
