The invention belongs to the technical field of
fine chemical synthesis, belongs to a nonionic short
fluorine chain surfactant, and relates to a preparation method of a fluorinated polyether surfactant. The preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting
trimethylolethane with a
hydrogen bromide acetic acid solution to prepare an intermediate 1; reacting the intermediate 1 in an alkaline environment without an
organic solvent to prepare an intermediate 2; reacting the intermediate 2 with pentafluoropropanol under the action of
potassium hydroxide and a catalyst 1 to prepare a fluorinated
monomer; finally, the fluorinated
monomer is subjected to
ring opening polymerization under the action of an initiator and a catalyst 2, and the fluorinated polyether type surfactant is prepared. The method has the advantages of easily available raw materials, mild
reaction conditions, simple synthesis, low cost, high yield and short
fluorine chain of the product, can replace a long-chain
fluorine-containing surfactant which is difficult to degrade, and can be used as an additive in the fields of photoresists, coatings, adhesives and the like. The
surface tension can be obviously reduced, the surface defects of a
coating can be reduced, and the appearance can be improved by adding a very small amount of the
surface tension reducing agent.
