Abstract: The present invention provides a fluoroalkyl-group-containing compound that has high water solubility and is highly capable of reducing the surface tension of an aqueous composition. Specifically, the invention relates to a compound represented by formula (1): W—CnF2n—X—(CH2CH2O)a—Y??(1) wherein n is an integer from 2 to 6; W is a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom; X is -M-O— (wherein R is a lower alkyl a group; and M is an alkylene group optionally substituted with a hydroxyl group), etc.; a is an integer from 10 to 50; and Y is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 4 to 19 carbon atoms, -M?-CmF2m—W (wherein m is an integer from 2 to 6; W? is a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom; and M? is an alkylene group optionally substituted with a hydroxyl group), etc.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there can be obtained an anisotropic material comprising an alternating-line pattern and a layer of a functional compound formed on the surface of the alternating-line pattern, wherein one type of lines is made of a fluorine-containing compound and the other type of lines is made of a non-fluorinated compound in the alternating-line surface. When using, as a template, a pattern surface produced by using a fluorine compound having a specific structure as a surface-treating agent, a structure of a functional compound of nanometer to micrometer order can be produced by a process of applying a functional compound solution. Properties of a functional compound can be improved by using, as a template, a pattern surface, at least one region of which is surface-treated with a fluorine compound having a specific structure.

Abstract: A surfactant comprising a graft polymer having a branch polymer and a trunk polymer, at least one of which contains a fluoroalkyl group, has high solubility in a liquid medium and shows a superior surface tension-lowering action, in spite of containing fluoroalkyl groups at a high concentration. The surfactant also has high solubility in a liquid medium, in spite of containing a short-chain perfluoroalkyl group which is poor in surface tension-lowering action, and further shows a superior action to decrease the surface tension of a solution. The use of this surfactant can provide a liquid dispersion well dispersed in a liquid medium having a small environmental load.
