Semi-interpenetrating polymer networks were obtained by the cationic photoinduced polymerization of a hydrogenated difunctional vinyl ether (VE) and a fluorinated VE (FVE).
The amount of FVE could tune the architecture of the photopolymers.
When the wt. content of FVE exceeded 15 wt.%, a semi-IPN structure was obtained.
Fluorinated semi-IPNs displayed good thermal resistance and good surface energy.
