Two fluoroalkyl end-capped oligomers [RF-(M)n-RF] were prepared by reaction of fluoroalkanoyl peroxide with traditional radical polymerizable monomers (M). These fluoroalkyl end-capped oligomers can be classified according to their structure into new ABA triblock-type fluorinated polysoaps, and form the nanometer size controlled self-assembled molecular aggregates with the aggregation of terminal fluoroalkyl segments in aqueous and organic media. Fluoroalkyl end-capped oligomeric aggregates can interact with a variety of guest molecules such as gold, silver and copper nanoparticles to afford the corresponding fluorinated oligomers/guest molecules nanocomposites. The preparation and applications of these new fluorinated oligomers/guest molecules nanocomposites are reviewed in this articles.
