The present disclosure also relates, in exemplary embodiments, to methods of making such synthetic blends.
Claims20
An F-POSS compound of the formula
- or a mixture thereof, wherein R1 and R2 are each independently long-chain fluorinated alkyl, and n is an integer from 0 to 8, provided that R1 and R2 are different.
An F-POSS composition comprising a mixture of compounds of the formula
- wherein R1 and R2 are each independently long-chain fluorinated alkyl, and n is an integer from 0 to 8, provided that R1 and R2 are different.
An F-POSS composition produced by a process comprising:
- contacting a first feedstock comprising a first fluorinated trialkoxysilane with a second feedstock comprising a second fluorinated trialkoxysilane, wherein the first fluorinated trialkoxysilane and the second fluorinated trialkoxysilane are different.
A paint composition, comprising:
- a. at least one polymer base paint material;
- and
- b. a polymer synthetic blend composition comprising polymer synthetic blend composition of fluorinated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (“F-POSS”), comprising:
- a mixture of feedstock materials comprising
- i. a first feedstock comprising a first fluorinated triethoxysilane having a carbon chain length of C1x, where x is the number of carbons, and,
- ii. a second feedstock comprising a second fluorinated triethoxysilane having a carbon chain length of C2y, where y is the number of carbons, wherein x is greater than y,
- whereby the polymer blend composition resulting from the mixing of the first and second feedstocks comprises a distribution of molecules, each molecule comprising a matrix structure having eight apices, each apex having a substituent R, each substituent R having a carbon chain length Cn, such that a portion of the distribution of molecules has all substituents R having the same carbon chain length Cn and a portion of the distribution of molecules has at least one substituent R1 having a carbon chain length C1x and R2 having a carbon chain length C2y wherein C1 is greater than C2
The paint composition of clause 18, wherein the polymer base paint material comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of a polyurethane, polyester, polypropylene, polybutylene, poly(L-lactic acid), polycellulosic, polyhydroxy alkanate, lignose cellulose, polyethylene oxide, epoxy, epoxy resin, alkyd resin, polyether, and mixtures of at least two of the foregoing.
The paint composition of clause 18, wherein the paint composition has a water contact angle of at least 110 degrees and a hexadecane contact angle of at least 70 degrees.
