Creation of polymeric nanostructures by living coordination block copolymerization of allene derivatives with fluoroalkyl substituents under polymerization-induced self-assembly conditions and their application to superhydrophobic surfaces

Block copolymer micelles with a fluorous corona were synthesized via living allene polymerization in fluorous media and a polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) process, resulting in excellent superhydrophobic optically transparent coatings.
