A series of semifluorinated fluorocarbon/hydrocarbon di- and triblock copol
ymers were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The mon
o- and difunctional macroinitiators, which were obtained from bulk ATRP of
styrene, butyl acrylate and methyl acrylate, initiated solution ATRP of 2-
[(perfluorononenyl)oxy]ethyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol mono-methacry
late mono-perfluorooctanoate, respectively. The formation of the block copo
lymer was confirmed with size exclusion chromatography and H-1 NMR spectrum
