A porous or non-porous polymeric substrate having its surface modified
with an immobilized fluorocarbon such as perfluorocarbon, polymeric
composition is provided. The immobilized fluorocarbon is formed from a
monomer having formula: [T--SO.sub.2Y--SO.sub.2T'].sup.-M.sup.+ in which
--T and T' are identical or different and comprise an organic radical
bearing at least one active polymerization function such as an
unsaturation or a ring that can be opened; --M.sup.+ comprises an
inorganic cation. --Y comprises N or CQ in which Q comprises H, CN, F,
SO.sub.2R.sup.3, substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1-20 alkyl,
substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1-20 aryl, substituted or
un-substituted C.sub.1-20 alkylene, in which the substituent comprises
one or more halogens, and in which the chain comprises one or more F,
SO.sub.2R, aza, oxa, thia or dioxathia substituents; and --R.sup.3
comprises F, substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1-20 alkyl, in which the
substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1-20 aryl, substituted or
unsubstituted C.sub.1-20 alkylene, in which the substituent comprises one
or more halogens.
