Fluorinated polysiloxanes with different grafting densities of fluorinated groups were
synthesized via hydrosilylation reaction between polymethylhydrosiloxane and
tridecafluorooctyl methacrylate (13FMA). By further introduction of vinyltriethoxysilane
(VTES), the produced polymers underwent self-crosslinking to generate icephobic coatings.
Characterizations of surface chemical composition and morphology of the fluorinated
polysiloxanes coatings suggested that the fluorine content and the surface roughness of the …
