The two resins of fluorine-containing acrylate are synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization. The raw materials used are hexafluorobutyl mathacrylate and dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate. The FTIR, (HNMR)-H-1, and (FNMR)-F-19 are used to characterize copolymer structures. The application as resins on dyed polyester microfiber fabric is investigated. Shade darkening effect of the resins is discussed by color yield (K/S), rates of the color yield increase (I%), and the color differences (Delta E). The polymers containing perfluorine groups have excellent shade darkening effect on dyed polyester microfiber fabric. (c) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
