A fluorinated polymer comprising at least three different groups within the polymer chain derived from reactive monomers, the monomers comprising:
(a) a fluorinated, ethylenically unsaturated monomer;
(b) a hydroxyl-containing, ethylenically unsaturated monomer; and
(c) a polar, ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
The fluorinated polymers provide a surfactant that is particularly useful in the coating of polymeric layers. The surfactants can reduce surface anomalies, such as mottle when used to coat photothermographic and thermographic elements from certain solvent systems. The present invention also provides photothermographic and thermographic elements comprising the foregoing fluorinated polymers.
一种含
氟聚合物,其聚合物链上至少有三个不同的基团,这些基团来自活性单体,这些单体包括
(a) 含
氟乙烯基不饱和单体;
(b) 含羟基的
乙烯基不饱和单体;以及
(c) 极性
乙烯基不饱和单体。
氟化聚合物提供的表面活性剂特别适用于聚合物层的涂层。表面活性剂可减少表面异常现象,如在某些溶剂系统中用于涂覆光热成像和热成像元件时的斑驳现象。本发明还提供了包含上述含
氟聚合物的光热成像和热成像元件。
