Fluorophilic boronic acid copolymer surfactant for stabilization of complex emulsion droplets with fluorinated oil
A fluorosurfactant is synthesized by the copolymerization of fluoroacrylate and boronic acid acrylamide monomers to stabilize fluorinated oil droplets. The copolymer surfactant couples with diols or polyols in adjacent aqueous phase to form an ultrathin elastic interfacial film to rigidify the interface, thereby preventing drop recoalescence and enabling new applications.
