Provided is a
fluorine-containing
polymer having water repellency and
photosensitivity equivalent to those of a conventional
fluorine-containing
polymer and capable of being decomposed at a lower temperature. A
fluorine-containing
polymer according to the present disclosure contains a repeating unit represented by general formula (1) or (1)'. (In general formula (1), R1 is a
hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a
chlorine atom, or a C1-10 straight-chain or C3-10 branched
alkyl group. Some or all of
hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms in the
alkyl group may be substituted with fluorine atoms. In general formula (1), R2 is a
single bond, an alkylene group which may have a straight-chain, branched, or cyclic structure, an aromatic ring, an ester, a carbonyl, an
ether, an
amide, an amine, or a composite
substituent thereof, and a part thereof may be fluorinated and / or chlorinated. In general formula (1)', R1a is a C1-10 straight-chain or C3-10 branched
alkyl group. Some or all of
hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms in the alkyl group may be substituted with fluorine atoms and / or
chlorine atoms. In general formula (1)', R2a is an alkylene group which may have a straight-chain, branched, or cyclic structure, an aromatic ring, an ester, a carbonyl, an
ether, an
amide, an amine, or a composite
substituent thereof, and a part thereof may be fluorinated and / or chlorinated. In general formula (1)', R2b is an alkylene group which may have a straight-chain, branched, or cyclic structure, an aromatic ring, an ester, a carbonyl, an
ether, an
amide, an amine, or a composite
substituent thereof, and a part thereof may be fluorinated and / or chlorinated. In general formulae (1) and (1)', X is a hydroxyl group, an
alkoxy group, an oxycarbonyl group, an oxysulfonyl group, an oxycarboxy group, or a
hydrogen atom. In general formulae (1) and (1)', n is a natural number of 1-3.)
