Fluorinated acrylate latices have been widely used in the field of coatings

adhesives

chemical auxiliaries for textile due to their excellent surface properties .However

the fluorinated monomers have relatively high price

and also

the residual emulsifiers in the latex films have negative effects on the water/oil repellency of films . Therefore

it is of great importance to reduce fluorinated component content in copolymers while keeping the excellent surface properties of the resulting latex films .This paper reviews the methods of improving the surface properties of fluorinated acrylate latex films

including the efficient utilization of fluorinated monomers

the design of latex particles

chain structures of copolymer

and the post-treatment of latex films resulted from fluorinated acrylate copolymer .
