A highly stretchable superhydrophobic thin film using initiated chemical vapor deposition is prepared by a method in which a substrate is coated with a copolymer at a nanometer thickness by allowing a fluorine monomer containing 4 to 6 fluoroalkyl groups and having a glass transition temperature of 5° C. or less to react with a crosslinking monomer on the substrate in the presence of an initiator in an initiated chemical vapor deposition reactor and thus its durability can be secured in foldable and wearable devices.

The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising a copolymer derived from a vinyl aromatic monomer, a (meth)acrylate monomer, an acid monomer, and a copolymerizable surfactant and compositions comprising the same. The (meth)acrylate monomer can be selected from a monomer having a theoretical glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) for its corresponding homopolymer of 0° C. or less or a hydrophobic (meth)acrylate monomer. In some embodiments, the copolymer is further derived from an organosilane. The copolymers can have a theoretical glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) from −60° C. to 80° C. and a number average particle size of 250 nm or less.
