Abstract

A fluorine-containing polymer having (a) a repeating unit derived from a fluorine-containing monomer indicated by the formula CH 2 ═C(—X)—C(═O)—Y—Z—Rf, (b) a repeating unit derived from a cyclic-hydrocarbon-group-containing acrylate ester monomer indicated by the formula CH 2 ═CQ 11 —C(═O)—O-Q 12 , and (c) a repeating unit derived from an aliphatic-hydrocarbon-group-containing acrylate ester monomer indicated by the formula CH 2 ═CQ 21 —C(═O)—O-Q 22 . The fluorine-containing polymer is produced by polymerizing in the presence of one or both of (d) a silicon-containing monomer and a silicon-containing chain transfer agent.
