Preparation of novel fluoroalkyl end-capped oligomeric nanoparticles-encapsulated hibitane

Fluoroalkyl end-capped N-(1,1-dimethyl-3-oxobutyl)acrylamide oligomer [RF–(DOBAA)n–RF] reacted with hibitane in methanol at 90 °C to afford RF–(DOBAA)n–RF oligomeric nanoparticles-encapsulated hibitane in good isolated yields. These fluorinated oligomeric particles-encapsulated hibitane were nanometer size-controlled very fine particles, and were found to exhibit a good dispersibility and stability in a wide variety of traditional organic solvents including fluorinated aliphatic solvents. Each dispersed solution with fluorinated nanoparticles afforded transparent colorless solution. These fluorinated nanoparticles were also found to exhibit a good antibacterial activity, and were applied to the surface modification of traditional organic polymers such as poly(methyl methacrylate).
