Due to good reactivity of fluorinated (meth)acrylates with other monomers or polymer segments, fluorinated poly(meth)acrylates possess more economical and convenient synthesis routes than other fluoropolymers. This feature article initially summarizes different types of fluorinated (meth)acrylates, which can be divided into fluorinated alkyl (meth)acrylates and fluorinated aryl (meth)acrylates. Subsequently, various approaches for synthesizing fluorinated poly(meth)acrylates including random, block, graft or star copolymers are described. Conventional free radical polymerization can be used in synthesizing random copolymers, while controlled/living radical polymerization can provide well-defined copolymers with accurate control over molecular weight and special structures as expected. In particular, introduction of fluorinated components into as-prepared copolymers offers an alternative route to synthesize fluorinated poly(meth)acrylates which are difficult to be obtained directly via polymerization. The incorporation of fluorine can confer unique and highly desirable properties to poly(meth)acrylates such as low surface energy, thermal stability, chemical and weather resistance, low refractive index, and self-organization characteristics. Such properties are described in great details based on many recent articles. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license.
