Abstract

A fluorine-containing copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 600,000 to 2,000,000, and is represented by following formula: One of R 1 and R 2 is H, or unsubstituted or non-perfluoro-substituted C1-C8 linear or branched alkyl, and the other is H, F, or C1-C8 linear or branched alkyl substituted or unsubstituted with fluorine. R 3 and R 4 are each independently selected from H, F, or C1-C8 linear or branched alkyl substituted or unsubstituted with fluorine. R 5 -R 7 are each independently selected from H, F, or C1-C8 linear or branched alkyl substituted or unsubstituted with fluorine. R 8 is perfluoro-substituted C1-C8 linear or branched alkyl. m, n, and q are molar proportions of respective repeating units in the fluorine-containing copolymer. M≥90%, 0<n<100%, and 0<q<100%.
