Fluorinated (meth)acrylate polymers are a class of novel low surface energy materials, in which the fluorinated chains confer them hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, and the non-fluorinated chains render them fine solubility and compatibility. The surface wettability can be changed by designing and controlling the structures of fluorinated (meth)acrylate polymers. In this article, we review the influence factors of surface wettability for fluorinated (meth)acrylate homopolymers, random copolymers, block copolymers, graft copolymers, core-shell copolymers, cross-linked network copolymers etc.. The relationships between the structures and surface wettability including wetting stability of the polymers are discussed by means of analysis of the crystallinity, surface element content, surface energy and contact angle of the polymers, and the related models are also given, which providing theoretical basis and guidance for design and synthesis of stable surface wettability of fluorinated (meth)acrylate polymers.
