A new class of methacrylate monomers containing perfluorocyclobutyl unit was synthesized in multisteps including crossing-dimerization, demethylation and esterification using commercially available p-substituted phenol, tetrafluoroethylene and methacryloyl chloride as starting materials. These monomers can be polymerized in solution to provide perfluorocyclobutyl-based polymethacrylate, a kind of potential transparent material. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
