Disclosed is a fluorine-containing polymerizable monomer represented by
the formula [1] below. (In the formula, A represents a single bond, an
oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, CO, CH.sub.2, SO, SO.sub.2,
C(CH.sub.3).sub.2, NHCO, C(CF.sub.3).sub.2, a phenyl or an alicyclic
ring; a and b independently represent an integer of 0-2; and
1.ltoreq.a+b.ltoreq.4.) Such a fluorine-containing polymerizable monomer
can be used as an effective polymerizable monomer exhibiting water
repellency, oil repellency, low water absorbency, heat resistance,
weather resistance, corrosion resistance, transparency, photosensitivity,
low refractive index, low dielectric properties and the like.
Consequently, the fluorine-containing polymerizable monomer can be
applied to the field of advanced polymer materials. ##STR00001##
