A fluorochemical composition that includes one or more fluorochemical urethane compounds, a method of treating a substrate (e.g., a method for imparting water and oil repellency and antisoiling characteristics to a substrate), and an article having a fluorochemical composition coating thereon.

The embodiments herein relate to a composition of a fluorinated polyurethane acrylate resin and a polyurethane acrylate resin, which, upon curing, is durable and has anti-stain and anti-scratch properties. The preparation of the composition is conducted with a one-pot multicomponent synthesis process, wherein multiple components are put together to carry out reactions simultaneously. The process is especially suitable for industrial scale production, and open for adding additive components to further adjust the performance of the prepared composition. The embodiments herein also relate to oligomers prepared in the synthesis process, as well as the use of the composition or oligomer to form a coating onto a substrate.

Provided is a display device including an adhesion reduction layer having a micro protrusion pattern capable of identification of the authenticity of at least one product from among a window, a touch screen and a display, which are freely detachable and are obtained via different channels, and a pattern engraved thereon. The display device includes a window, a display, and optionally a touch screen, and comprises an adhesion reduction layer having a micro protrusion pattern. The device comprises: a detachable layer which is positioned on at least one from among the window, the touch screen and the display and has an adhesive force of 0.1 gf/25 mm to 500 gf/25 mm; and a pattern made by a micro protrusion formed on part of the adhesion reduction layer which is positioned on any one from among the window, the touch screen and the display so as to face the detachable layer.

Polymers containing halogen functionality are prepared by the addition or condensation polymerization of at least one halogenated reactant containing at least two active hydrogen-containing functional groups per molecule and at least one halogenated heteroalkyl or halogenated heteroalkenyl group per molecule and at least one co-reactant containing at least two functional groups reactive with the active hydrogen groups of the at least one halogenated reactant.

Various embodiments provide epoxy modified fluorinated urethane compositions that may provide desirable bulk mechanical properties of conventional coatings, adhesives, or structural matrix resins, while simultaneously exhibiting surface properties that may reduce surface contamination. Various embodiments provide formulations comprising epoxy modified fluorinated alkyl ether including urethane oligomer or polymer resins that may possess the requisite thermal, mechanical, chemical, and optical properties while achieving a low surface energy. In various embodiments, such resins may be prepared from random urethane oligomer compositions including fluorinated alkyl ether segments, in which the oligomers may be terminated with amino groups and subsequently reacted with epoxy including monomers or oligomers.

Some variations provide a segmented copolymer composition comprising: fluoropolymer first soft segments that are (,)-hydroxyl-terminated and/or (,)-amine-terminated; polyester or polyether second soft segments that are (,)-hydroxyl-terminated and/or (,)-amine-terminated; isocyanate species possessing an isocyanate functionality of 2 or greater; and polyol or polyamine chain extenders or crosslinkers, wherein the molar ratio of the second soft segments to the first soft segments is less than 2.0. Exemplary segmented copolymers are disclosed. The segmented copolymer composition may be present in a low-friction, low-adhesion coating. Such a coating may be characterized by a coefficient of friction, measured at 90% relative humidity, less than 0.7. Such a coating may be characterized by an average kinetic delay of surface ice formation of at least 10 minutes at 10 C. These coatings are useful as bugphobic and icephobic coatings.

Low-friction fluorinated coatings are disclosed herein. A preferred low-friction material contains a low-surface-energy fluoropolymer having a surface energy between about 5 mJ/m.sup.2 to about 50 mJ/m.sup.2, and a hygroscopic material that is covalently connected to the fluoropolymer in a triblock copolymer, such as PEG-PFPE-PEG. The material forms a lubricating surface layer in the presence of humidity. An exemplary copolymer comprises fluoropolymers with average molecular weight from 500 g/mol to 20,000 g/mol, wherein the fluoropolymers are (,)-hydroxyl-terminated and/or (,)-amine-terminated, and wherein the fluoropolymers are present in the triblock structure T-(CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O)CH.sub.2CF.sub.2O(CF.sub.2CF.sub.2O).sub.m(CF.sub.2O).sub.nCF.sub.2CH.sub.2(OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2).sub.p-T where T is a hydroxyl or amine terminal group, p=1 to 50, m=1 to 100, and n=1 to 100. The copolymer also contains isocyanate species and polyol or polyamine chain extenders or crosslinkers possessing a functionality of preferably 3 or greater. These durable, solvent-resistant, and transparent coatings reduce insect debris following impact.
