A fluoropolymer/silica (FP/SiO 2 ) organic-inorganic nanocomposite was synthesized by copolymerization of butyl acrylate (BA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), and dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFMA) based on vinyl nano-silica (V-SiO 2 ) using emulsion polymerization. The V-SiO 2 was prepared via water-based solgel reaction with vinyl trimethoxy silane (VTMS) as the precursor in the presence of the composite surfactant. The preparation of V-SiO 2 , influence of the composite surfactant on VSiO 2 , effect of composite emulsifier on the properties of FP/ SiO 2 , and the formation of the FP/SiO 2 nanocomposite were analyzed. The resulting V-SiO 2 and FP/SiO 2 were characterized by particle size analyzer, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The obtained FP/ SiO 2 nanocomposites were applied to coat onto the flexible polyester fabrics by dip-pad-cure process. The results showed that the V-SiO 2 nanoparticles had been introduced into the FP/ SiO 2 nanocomposites and superhydrophobic polyester surfaces were achieved by the cooperation of the rough surface structure provided by the silica nanoparticles and the low surface energy caused by fluoropolymer.
