Abstract: Fluorochemical copolymers, useful as wet-end papermaking additives which impart oil and water repellency and food stain resistance to ovenable paperboard under food cooking conditions, and as a treatment for imparting oil and water repellency to textile fibers. The fluorochemical copolymers are derived (by weight) from about 60 to 80% fluorochemical acrylate, 1 to 30% halogenated alkyl or alkoxyalkyl acrylate, 1 to 15% glycidyl acrylate or methacrylate, 1 to 6% of certain cationic acrylates or methacrylates, and 0 to 20% vinylidene chloride.

Abstract: N-chlorolactams, -amides, and -carbamates are photolyzed in alcoholic solution to provide N-(alpha-alkoxyalkyl)-substituted derivatives. These derivatives are interacted with hydroxylated acrylate or methacrylate esters to yield monomers which may be polymerized in the presence of an appropriate initiator. Many of the monomers are water soluble and are useful to prepare polymeric films having unique properties.

Abstract: Polymeric compositions are provided in which perfluoropolyethers have been solubilized in non-fluorinated solvents by combining them with a solubilizing agent such as azotic conjugated compounds, and phosphorylated compounds. Typical of the perfluoropolyethers is ##STR1## Typical of the solubilizing agents is phosphorylated methacryloyloxyhydroxypropylisophthalate. The perfluoropolyether and the solubilizing agent are mixed to form a paste which is soluble in organic solvents such as methylethylketone. These compositions find utility as protective lubricant coatings for thin film magnetic recording media. They have the advantage that only one coating step is required in order to apply both the phosphorylated compound and the lubricating polyether. Recording media lubricated with these compositions have demonstrated excellent wear characteristics.
