The trilayer core–shell polysilsesquioxane/polyacrylate/poly(fluorinated acrylate) (PSQ/PA/PFA) hybrid latex particles are successfully prepared, using functional PSQ latex particles with reactive methacryloxypropyl groups synthesized by the hydrolysis and polycondensation of (3-methacryloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane in the presence of a reactive emulsifier as seeds. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) confirm that the resultant hybrid latex particles have evident trilayer core–shell structure and a narrow size distribution. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra show that fluorinated acrylate monomers are effectively involved in the emulsion copolymerization and formed the fluorine-containing hybrid latex particles. XPS analysis of the obtained hybrid latex film reveals that the intensity of fluorine signal in the film–air interface is higher than that in the film–glass interface. In addition, compared with pure polyacrylate latex film, the obtained fluorine-containing hybrid film shows higher hydrophobicity and thermal stability, and lower surface free energy.
