Abstract Thermal properties of acrylate and methacrylate monomers containing long-fluorocarbon chains (H(CF2)nCH2OCOCH=CH2, (FnA) and H(CF2)nCH2OCOC(CH3)=CH2, (FnMA), wheren=6, 8, 10) and their comb-like polymers have been investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray diffraction. The comb-like polymers (PF10A and PF10MA) with sufficiently long-fluorocarbon chains showed a simple melting and crystallizing behavior. For the fusion of PF10A in 1st heating, enthalpy change δH f was 18 kJ mol−1 and entropy change δS f was 45 J K−1 mol−1, while for PF10MA the values δH f and δSf were 5.3 kJ mol−1 and 14 J K−1 mol−1, respectively. Melted PF8A crystallized slowly, whereas PF8MA with same fluorocarbon chain and also both of PF6A and PF6MA with shorter fluorocarbon chains can hardly crystallize by the aggregation of side-chains. Effects of the length of side-chain and the flexibility of main chain on the side-chain crystallization of comb-like polymers are clear. Crystallization process of the methacrylate monomers was sensitively affected by the scanning rate of DSC measurement and the length of fluorocarbon chains.
