Fluoropolymer: A Review on Its Emulsion Preparation and Wettability to Solid-Liquid Interface

In the preparation of a superamphiphobic surface, the most basic method is to reduce the surface free energy of the interface. The C—F bond has a very low surface free energy, which can significantly change the wettability of the solid–liquid interface and make it a hydrophobic or oleophobic, or even superamphiphobic surface. Based on the analysis of a large number of research articles, the preparation and application progress in fluoropolymer emulsion were summarized. After that, some corresponding thoughts were put forward combined with our professional characteristics. According to recent research, the status of the fluoropolymer emulsion preparation system was analyzed. In addition, all related aspects of fluoropolymer emulsion were systematically classified in varying degrees. Furthermore, the interaction between fluoropolymer structure and properties, especially the interaction with nanomaterials, was also explored. The aim of this review is to try to attract more scholars’ attention to fluorocarbon interfacial materials. It is expected that it will make a certain theoretical and practical significance in the preparation and application of fluoropolymer.
