Abstract: Multilayer optical films including a substrate and at least a first layer overlaying a surface of the substrate, in which the at least first layer includes a (co)polymer obtained by polymerizing a polymerizable composition including a fluorinated coupling agent and at least one free-radically polymerizable monomer, oligomer, or mixture thereof. Processes for making multilayer optical films using the polymerizable compositions also are taught. Articles including the multilayer optical film also are disclosed, in which the article preferably is selected from a photovoltaic device, a display device, a solid-state lighting device, a sensor, a medical or biological diagnostic device, an electrochromic device, light control device, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A polymerizable composition is described comprising a fluorinated monomer, oligomer, or mixture thereof; and a coupling agent comprising a (meth)acryl terminal group, a terminal silane comprising hydrolysable groups and a perfluorooxyalkylene or perfluorooxyalkyl moiety. Also described are compounds and methods.
