A series of organic fluorine-modified UV-curable waterborne epoxy itaconic resin were synthesized from epoxy resin(E-51, itaconic acid (IA )and hexafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFMA)as main materials The effect of reaction temperature on the synthesis of resin was studied. The influence of HFMA amount on water resistance, water contact angle and mechanical properties of the cured film were studied. The modified resin was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed that the comprehensive properties of the prepared resin and its coating film were excellent when the reaction temperature was 105℃ and the ratio of organic fluorine to epoxy resin was:4.After modification, the water absorption rate of the cured film decreased from 9. 14% to 4.01%, meanwhile, the water contact angle increased from 63. 26 °to 90. 05°. These revealed an obvious improvement in water resistance, hydrophobicity and thermal stability.
