Copolymers of 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene and Nphenylmaleimide were synthesised by free-radical polymerisation using AIBN as polymerisation initiator under thermal heating and microwave heating conditions. Copolymerisation parameters were determined using the Fineman-Ross method and the copolymers were characterised by NMR spectroscopy, GPC, DSC, TGA and contact angle measurements. The copolymers were found to exhibit high hydrophobicities and high Tgs and heat stabilities dependent upon the content of Nphenylmaleimide in the copolymer. 24 refs.
