The study addresses the relationship between the structure of solutions of amphiphilic diblock and random copolymers of 2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate in mixed solvents and water contact angles of the surfaces treated with these solutions. For the first time, the solubility and the structuring of homo- and copolymers in mixed solvents were studied and the regions of molecular solubility and microphase and macrophase separation were determined by light scattering techniques. The structure of thin films formed from various solutions was characterized by transmission electron microscopy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
