Abstract

The invention provides a method of coating a fabric, e.g. a textile material, with a polymer coating, which method comprises contacting a fabric with a monomer and subjecting the monomer to low power plasma polymerization, wherein the monomer comprises the general formula (I): CnF2n+1CmX2mCR1Y—OCO—C(R2)═CH2, wherein n is 2 to 6, m is 0 to 9, X and Y are H, F, Cl, Br or I, R1 is H or alkyl, e.g. —CH3, or a substituted alkyl, e.g. an at least partially halo-substituted alkyl, and R2 is H or alkyl, e.g. —CH3 or a substituted alkyl, e.g. an at least partially halo-substituted alkyl.
