Abstrakt:	The development of durable and eco-friendly coatings with excellent adhesion and remarkable surface properties remains a critical pursuit in various industries. This study introduces an innovative methodology for the synthesis of glycidyl methacrylate- co -fluorinated methacrylate (P(GMA- co -FMA)) random copolymers with variable fluorine contents derived from GMA and FMA monomers. The copolymerization of these constituents yields coatings with enhanced durability and unique surface characteristics. Particularly, the incorporation of FMA introduces novel surface functionalities, leading to high water and oil repellent properties. The copolymer-coated surfaces exhibited impressive water contact angles ranging from 105° to 125° and decane contact angles ranging from 50° to 85°. The wettability of the P(GMA- co -FMA) coatings demonstrated a strong dependence on the fluorine content in the copolymers, with higher fluorine content resulting in superior water and oil repellency. Through a comprehensive characterization, we demonstrate the exceptional adhesion and self-cleaning capabilities of the fabricated films. Notably, the self-cleaning efficacy of P(GMA- co -FMA)-coated surfaces persists even following a prolonged duration of 6 months. Furthermore, our investigation reveals the influence of copolymer composition on surface wettability and contact angle hysteresis, providing valuable insights for tailoring coating properties. Overall, the novelty of this study lies in the synthesis of P(GMA- co -FMA) copolymer coatings with superior adhesion and self-cleaning properties. These advancements present promising applications in various fields, including electronics, textiles, and medical supplies, where such durable and functional coatings can significantly enhance product performance and longevity.
