Synthesis of Amphiphilic Polyacrylates as Peelable Coatings for Optical Surface Cleaning.

ABSTRACT: Optical instruments require extremely high precision, and even minor surface contamination can severely impact their performance. Peelable coatings offer an effective and non-damaging method for removing contaminants from optical surfaces. In this study, an amphiphilic polyacrylate copolymer (PMLEA) was synthesized via solution radical copolymerization using the lipophilic monomer lauryl acrylate (LA) and hydrophilic monomers ER-10, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and butyl acrylate (BA). The structure and molecular weight of the copolymer were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, surface tension, and wettability of the copolymer were analyzed through wat
